Luke 15:1

THEN drew nigh unto him all the tax-farmers and the sinners to hear him.

And it came to pass, as he sat in his house, many tax-gatherers and sinners came, and sat down at table with Jesus and his disciples.

But what think ye? A man had two sons; and coming to the first he said, Son, go work to-day in my vineyard.

And Levi made him a great entertainment at his house and there was a great number of publicans and others, sitting at table with them.

And all the people when they heard it, and the publicans, glorified God, being baptised with the baptism of John.

And, behold, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.

But the law was introduced, that the offence might be more abundant. But where sin had abounded, there hath grace abounded more exceedingly:

It is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the chief.
