And it came to pass ,
as Jesus sat at meat in the house ,
behold ,
many publicans and (
note :)
The publicans who were placed by the Romans ,
after that time Judea was brought into the form of a province ,
to gather the taxes ,
and therefore by the rest of the Jews they were called sinners ,
that is to say ,
very vile men .(:
note )
sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples .
*
And when the Pharises sawe that ,
they saide to his disciples ,
Why eateth your master with Publicanes and sinners ?
*
Nowe when Iesus heard it ,
hee sayde vnto them ,
The whole neede not a Physition ,
but they that are sicke .
*
But goe yee and learne what this is ,
I will haue mercie ,
and not sacrifice :
for I am not come to call the righteous ,
but the sinners to repentance .
