Mark 2:15-17
New American Standard Bible
15 And it *happened that He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and [a]sinners were [b]dining with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many of them, and they were following Him. 16 When (A)the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with the [c]sinners and tax collectors, they said to His disciples, “(B)Why is He eating with tax collectors and [d]sinners?” 17 And hearing this, Jesus *said to them, “(C)It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Mark 2:15-17
New Living Translation
15 Later, Levi invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. (There were many people of this kind among Jesus’ followers.) 16 But when the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees[a] saw him eating with tax collectors and other sinners, they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with such scum?[b]”
17 When Jesus heard this, he told them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”
