Mark 2:15-17

Lexham English Bible

¹⁵ And it happened that he was dining^[a] in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners were dining with^[b] Jesus and his disciples, for there were many and they were following him. ¹⁶ And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they^[c] saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, began to say^[d] to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” ¹⁷ And when^[e] Jesus heard it^[f], he said to them, “Those who are healthy do not have need of a physician, but those who are sick.^[g] I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
