Matthew 9:10-13 Modern English Version (MEV)

10. While Jesus sat at supper in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him 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. But when Jesus heard that, He said to them, “Those who are well do not need a physician, but those who are sick.

13. But go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
