⁷ And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He is gone in to lodge with a man that is a sinner.

² And both the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

¹¹ And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Teacher with the publicans and sinners?

³⁴ The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

³⁹ Now when the Pharisee that had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.

⁹ And he spake also this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and set all others at nought:

¹⁰ Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

¹¹ The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

¹² I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get.

¹³ But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinner.

¹⁴ I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

²⁸ But what think ye? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to-day in the vineyard.

²⁹ And he answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented himself, and went.

³⁰ And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I `go', sir: and went not.

³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

³⁰ And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with the publicans and sinners?
