Luke 5:31

5:31 Jesus answered them, “Those who are well don’t need a physician, but those who are sick do.

tn Grk “And Jesus.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

sn Jesus’ point is that he associates with those who are sick because they have the need and will respond to the offer of help. A person who is well (or who thinks mistakenly that he is) will not seek treatment.
