HANGING OUT WITH SINNERS

The Pharisees who are watching criticize Jesus when he has a meal, eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners. They were always concerned about what people would think. Jesus explains that he did not come to heal those who are well, but the sick. He did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. His disciples could celebrate with him because he was still with them. They would fast when he went away.
