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.”

English Standard Version
15 And as he reclined at table in his house, many (A)tax collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16 And (B)the scribes of[a] the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, (C)“Why does he eat[b] with tax collectors and sinners?” 17 And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. (D)I came not to call the righteous, (E)but sinners.”
