Description
While Jesus was having dinner at Matthewβs house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples.Β When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, βWhy does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?β
On hearing this, Jesus said,Β βIt is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.Β But go and learn what this means: βI desire mercy, not sacrifice.βΒ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.β
