Matthew 9:10-13

10 And as Jesus ^{▼▼Greek he} reclined at table in the house, behold, many ^btax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, ^c“Why does your teacher eat with ^dtax collectors and sinners?” 12 But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 Go and learn ^ewhat this means: ^f‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For ^gI came not to call the righteous, ^hbut sinners.”
