Mark
When questioned about eating with tax collectors and sinners, Jesus said he came to call “not the righteous, but sinners” (Mark 2:17). Mark places this saying during a meal connected to the call of Levi (Mark 2:14–17).
17When Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
