Mark 2:16

¹¹The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

¹⁰For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”

⁷When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”

⁹A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ part stood up, and contended, saying, “We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let’s not fight against God!”

⁵who say, ‘Stay by yourself, don’t come near to me, for I am holier than you.’ These are smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all day.

¹⁵But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged by no one.

³For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

¹¹When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

¹⁷If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.

⁷“Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
