Mark 2:15-17

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁵ And it *^[a]happened that He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and ^[b]sinners ^[c]were 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 sinners and tax collectors, they said to His disciples, “^(B)Why is He eating and drinking 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.”
