Matthew 9:10-13 ▼

10 And it happened as he sat in the house, look, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples.

11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, |Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?|

12 When he heard it, he said to them, |Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

13 But you go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.|
