Mt 9,10-13Mt 9,10-13
English: World English Bible - WEB
10 It happened as he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. ¹¹ When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” ¹² When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do. ¹³ But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

Medtem ko je bil v hiši pri mizi, je prišlo precéj cestninarjev in grešnikov. Jedli so z Jezusom in njegovimi učenci. Farizeji so to opazili in govorili njegovim učencem:

»Zakaj vaš učitelj jé s cestninarji in grešniki?«

On pa je to slišal in rekel:

»Ne potrebujejo zdravnika zdravi, ampak bolni. Pojdite in se poučite, kaj pomenijo besede: Usmiljenja hočem in ne žrtve. Nisem namreč prišel klicat pravičnih, ampak grešnike.«
