Mark 2:16-18

16WhenG2532 theG3588 scribesG1122 whoG3588 were PhariseesG5330 sawG3708 Jesus eatingG2068 withG3326 these people, they askedG2036G3588 HisG846 disciplesG3101, “Why doesG3754 He eatG20681 withG3326 tax collectorsG5057 andG2532 sinnersG268?”

17On hearing thisG191, JesusG2424 toldG3004 themG846, “It is notG3756 theG3588 healthyG2480 who needG5532 a doctorG2395, butG235 theG3588 sickG2560G2192. I have not comeG3756G2064 to callG2564 the righteousG1342, butG235 sinnersG268.”

18NowG2532 John’sG2491 disciplesG3101 andG2532 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 were oftenG1510 fastingG3522. SoG2532 people cameG2064 toG846 Jesus andG2532 askedG3004, “WhyG1223G5101 don’tG3756 YourG4674 disciplesG3101 fastG3522 like John’sG2491 disciplesG3101 andG2532 those of theG3588 PhariseesG5330?”
