Luke 5:30-32

Expanded Bible

³⁰ But the Pharisees and ·the men who taught the law for the Pharisees [^Ltheir scribes] began to ·complain [grumble] to Jesus’ ·followers [disciples], “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” [^CTax collectors were despised because they worked for the Roman rulers and were notorious for corruption and extortion.]

³¹ Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy people who need a doctor, but the sick. ³² I have not come to ·invite [call] ·good people [the righteous; ^Cmeaning the “self-righteous” who feel no need to repent] but sinners to ·change their hearts and lives [repentance].”
