“Why does he eat with such scum?”

I have come to call not those who think they are righteous,
but those who know they are sinners.”

Jesus reached out and touched him.
“I am willing,” he said, “Be healed!”

Jesus came and told his disciples,
“I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.
Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father
and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands
I have given you.
And be sure of this:
I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
