Luke 15:1

English Majority Text Version

Now all the tax collectors and the sinners were drawing near to Him to hear Him.

See the chapter Copy

For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

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

And when all the people heard Him, even the tax collectors justified God, having been baptized with the baptism of John.

But the law came in alongside, so that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace superabounded,

Faithful is this word, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am first.
