In verses 10-13 the Pharisees question Jesus as to why he permits publicans and sinners to eat with him. And Jesus explains to them that it's the sinners that need saving.
10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
11 And when the Pharisees saw [it], they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
12 But when Jesus heard [that], he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
13 But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Chapter 9 tells of miracles performed by Lord Jesus Christ and of having Faith.
