'Sinner' in the Bible

And there was a woman in the town who was a notorious sinner. Having learnt that Jesus was at table in the Pharisee's house she brought a flask of perfume,

I tell you that in the same way there will be rejoicing in Heaven over one repentant sinner--more rejoicing than over ninety-nine blameless persons who have no need of repentance.

"I tell you that in the same way there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one repentant sinner."

"But the tax-gatherer, standing far back, would not so much as lift his eyes to Heaven, but kept beating his breast and saying, "'O God, be reconciled to me, sinner that I am.'

When they all saw this, they began to complain with indignation. "He has gone in to be the guest of a notorious sinner!" they said.
