  3. 12But when he heard it, he said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick..' ForI came not to call the righteous, but sinners." • 11And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?" • 12But when he heard it, he said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13Go and learn what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.'
