Luke 5:31-33

EasyEnglish Bible

³¹ Jesus answered them, ‘People who are well do not need a doctor. It is people who are ill that need a doctor. ³² Some people think that they always obey God. I have not come to help people like that. Some people know that they have done wrong things. I am asking those people to come to me for help. I want them to change how they live.’

³³ Then the Jewish leaders said to Jesus: ‘The disciples of John the Baptist often choose to fast for a time. Then they can pray to God a lot. The disciples of the Pharisees also do that. But your disciples never do that. They continue to eat and drink every day.’^[a]
