‏ Matthew 9:12

12 When ^{▼▼tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.} Jesus heard this he said, “Those who are healthy don’t need a physician, but those who are sick do. ^{▼▼sn Jesus’ point is that he associates with those who are sick because they have the need and will respond to the offer of help. People who are healthy (or who think mistakenly that they are) will not seek treatment.}
