When the Pharisees saw this,
they asked his disciples,
“Why does your teacher eat
with tax collectors and sinners?”
On hearing this, Jesus said,
“It is not the healthy
who need a doctor,
but the sick.
So go and learn what this means:
‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’
For I have not come
to call the righteous,
but the sinners.”
~ Matthew 9
