And the Pharisees and scribes were angry, saying, This man gives approval to sinners, and takes food with them.

And when Jesus came to the place, looking up, he said to him, Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I am coming to your house today. And he came down quickly, and took him into his house with joy. And when they saw it, they were all angry, saying, He has gone into the house of a sinner.
