Mark 2:16 in Context — Mark 2
14 En passant, il vit Lévi, fils d’Alphée, assis au bureau des péages. Il lui dit: Suis-moi. Lévi se leva, et le suivit.
15 Comme Jésus était à table dans la maison de Lévi, beaucoup de publicains et de gens de mauvaise vie se mirent aussi à table avec lui et avec ses disciples; car ils étaient nombreux, et l’avaient suivi.
16 Les scribes et les pharisiens, le voyant manger avec les publicains et les gens de mauvaise vie, dirent à ses disciples: Pourquoi mange-t-il et boit-il avec les publicains et les gens de mauvaise vie?
17 Ce que Jésus ayant entendu, il leur dit: Ce ne sont pas ceux qui se portent bien qui ont besoin de médecin, mais les malades.Je ne suis pas venu appeler des justes, mais des pécheurs.
18 Les disciples de Jean et les pharisiens jeûnaient. Ils vinrent dire à Jésus: Pourquoi les disciples de Jean et ceux des pharisiens jeûnent-ils, tandis que tes disciples ne jeûnent point?
