Mat 9:10 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. - Mat 9:10 Jesus was approachable. He did not put people off with an external facade of Holiness.
Mat 9:11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eats your Master with publicans and sinners? - Mat 9:11 Their Fear of contamination and fear of losing reputation for such actions prompted this question.
Mat 9:13 But go you and learn what that means, I Will have Mercy, and not Sacrifice: for I am not come to call the Righteous, but Sinners to Repentance. - Mat 9:13 Self Righteous people are dense by nature inhibiting their receiving Truth.
Mat 11:19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they Say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a Friend of publicans and sinners. But Wisdom is Justified of her Children. - Mat 11:19 Whatever one's prersuasion, one can justify its positions.
Mat 26:45 Then comes he to his disciples, and says unto them, Sleep on now, and take your Rest: Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. - Mat 26:45 CrucifixionWeek
Mar 2:15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus Sat at meat in his house, many publicans and Sinners Sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him. - Mar 2:15 The proper Preaching of the Gospel draws men of all walks to Christ.
Mar 2:16 And when the Scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eats and drinks with publicans and sinners? - Mar 2:16 Circumspection is Good if it is genuine. Jesus was genuinely Circumspect. However, the ScribesPhariseesHypocrites maintained False Circumspection.
Mar 2:17 When Jesus heard it, he says unto them, They that are Whole have no Need of the physician, but they that are Sick: I came not to call the Righteous, but Sinners to Repentance. - Mar 2:17 Jesus facetiously refers to the ScribesPhariseesHypocrites as Righteous. They needed to Repent more so than the rank and file Jew.
Mar 14:41 And he comes the third Time, and says unto them, Sleep on now, and take your Rest: it is enough, the hour is come; Behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. - Mar 14:41 Jesus was gloriously resolved and so no longer had need of their support.
Luk 5:30 But their Scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do you eat and drink with publicans and sinners? - Luk 5:30 Straining at gnats again. If a person does not Believe they are wrong (i.e. that they are Righteous) then they will not Repent. When a person realizes they are wrong, they will Repent. The Love of God enables us to Love our abusers. Give Freely without the constraint of having received from the person to who you are giving. We are to be Supernatural givers. Elites have no respect for those not in their circle. So, they rejected Christ from being in the clique for receiving the publicans and sinners. Each of us is of immense value to God. None of us are expendable. Mercy is extended to the repentant Heart. Straining at gnats. Grace always supercedes Law. Legalism invariably leads to Division. They called Jesus a Sinner though He never broke the Law. His 'sin' was telling them the Truth about who He is. Just the Facts! A CommonSense statement from a former blind man. A Legalist may think that GraceThroughFaith alone is a Lie. However, GraceThroughFaith in Christ Jesus alone glorifies God more than a perfomanced based Salvation. Paul asks: why am I considered a sinner for glorifying God? While we were in such a pathetic state, the perfect SonOfMan, the SonOfGod shed His Blood to Redeem us. God is Fair and Just. Paul is getting at a wrong concept in the Jews - that they are accepted by God because of Abraham and so are superior to Gentiles. By coming under the Law a Believer becomes a sinner. CarnalMinded people need the Law to direct and govern them. Christ is our Saviour not our condemner. Jesus is Perfect in all His ways. Christ was rejected and Persecuted and ultimatelu killed but He remained Faithful to the Father. It is God who draws us to Him by the HolySpirit but that is just a tug. We must respect His wooing by turning to Him and desiring Him.

Sinners can only cleanse their hands by repenting, turning to Christ and receiving His cleansing blood,

Christians can only purify their Hearts by deciding to Believe the Word of God exclusively. Otherwise, they are DoubleMinded which yields Confusion, Fear and Unbelief.

When we are in Error (apart from the Truth) we will experience loss tending toward Death. Our Soul (Mind and Emotions) must be Transformed by the Renewing of our Minds in order to be Saved. When we are taught by the HolySpirit the Word of Truth we stop committing those Sins associated with Error. We are not scarcely Saved. Peter was speaking from the confusion of the Hybrid gospel which combined Grace and Works. Paul eventually brought Peter and John around but it took a long time. The DayOfWrath will be followed by Judgment as Christ and those who rule and reign with Him administer the MillennialKingdom.
