Matthew 9:10-13

New American Standard Bible

¹⁰ Then it happened that as ^[a]Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and ^[b]sinners came and began dining with Jesus and His disciples. ¹¹ And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, “^(A)Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?” ¹² But when Jesus heard this, He said, “It is not ^(B)those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick. ¹³ Now go and learn ^[c](C)what this means: ‘^(D)I desire ^[d]compassion, ^[e]rather than sacrifice,’ for ^(E)I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
