and "sinners" were eating with him and his disciples, for there
were many who followed him. 16 When the teachers of the law
who were Pharisees saw him eating with the "sinners" and tax collectors,
they asked his disciples: "Why does he eat with tax collectors and
`sinners'?" 17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is
not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come
to call the righteous, but sinners." |

10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house, many tax collectors
and "sinners" came and ate with him and his disciples. 11
When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does
your teacher eat with tax collectors and `sinners'?" 12 On
hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor,
but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: `I desire
mercy, not sacrifice' (Hosea 6:6). For I have not come to
call the righteous, but sinners." |

with tax collectors and `sinners'?" 31 Jesus answered them,
"It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 32
I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

Luke 19:1-10
| 1 Jesus entered Jericho
and was passing through. 2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus;
he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. 3 He wanted to
see who Jesus was, but being a short man he could not, because of
the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree
to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. 5 When Jesus reached
the spot, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down immediately.
I must stay at your house today." 6 So he came down at
once and welcomed him gladly. 7 All the people saw this and
began to mutter, "He has gone to be the guest of a `sinner.'"
8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and
now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated
anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount."
9 Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because
this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came
to seek and to save what was lost." |
