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.”
