Matthew 9:13 The Passion Translation (TPT)

13 Then he added, “Now you should go and study the meaning of the verse:

I want you to show mercy, not just offer me a sacrifice.[a]

For I have come to invite the outcasts of society and sinners, not those who think they are already on the right path.”[b]

Footnotes:

Matthew 9:13 See Hos. 6:6. To “offer a sacrifice” would be a metaphor for placing strict obedience to the law over the triumph of mercy’s kiss in our dealings with others. Sadly, many religious people today read this as “I desire religious exactness, not mercy.” Transforming ministry shows unmerited mercy to the “sick.”

Matthew 9:13 The obvious implication Jesus is making is that all are sinners who need to come to him for salvation.
