The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, Behold, a glutton and a wino, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.

Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner.

And their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against His disciples, saying, Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?

I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.

And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to Heaven, but beat his breast, saying, God, be merciful to me a sinner!

But when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.

Which of the two did the will of his father? They said to Him, The first. Jesus said to them, Truly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you.

So they again called the man who was blind, and said to him, Give God the glory. We know that this Man is a sinner.

knowing this: that the Law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for slayers of fathers and slayers of mothers, for murderers,

a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly ointment, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table.

And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly ointment of spikenard. And she broke the flask and poured it on His head.

It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those reclining with Him.

Then Mary took a pound of very costly ointment of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
