“How like a fawning publican he looks!”
William Shakespeare
“And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? / When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
Bible
“And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? / But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.”
“Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.”
“Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? / And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.”
