Teaching Points Understanding Jesus' MissionJesus came to seek and save the lost, which includes everyone, as all have sinned. His association with tax collectors and sinners exemplifies His mission to reach those who are spiritually sick. Challenge of Legalism The Pharisees' focus on ritual purity and separation from sinners highlights the danger of legalism, which can blind us to the heart of God's love and mercy. Embrace of Grace Jesus' actions demonstrate the importance of grace over judgment. We are called to extend grace to others, recognizing that we are all in need of God's mercy. Community and Fellowship Jesus' willingness to eat with sinners shows the importance of community and fellowship in ministry. We are encouraged to build relationships with those outside our comfort zones. Reflection on Self-Righteousness The Pharisees' attitude serves as a warning against self-righteousness. We must examine our own hearts to ensure we are not placing ourselves above others.(30) Murmured.--Better, were murmuring. In reporting what was said by others, St. Luke naturally gives the word "sinners" as it was actually spoken.Verse 30. - But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples. Many of the older authorities here omit "their" αὐτῶν before "scribes." The older authorities vary slightly in the position of the words here. The best reading and translation would give, "The Pharisees and the scribes among them" - "among them," that is, among the Capernaites; in other words, "They among them who were Pharisees and scribes." These scribes (Hebrew, sopherim), under this appellation, first appear after the Exile. Their occupation was to copy and to expound the Law. They were the recognized teachers of the Jews, and seem to have succeeded that great and influential class or order, the "sons of the prophets," originally founded by Samuel. These "sons of the prophets" are repeatedly mentioned in the books of the Old Testament which treat of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. The scribes were succeeded, in the year , by the tanaim (repeaters), under which name the scribes were officially, though apparently not popularly, known until A.D. , after which date these scribes were termed amoraim. The Talmud (Mishna and Gemara) may be said to have been the work of this great and enduring teacher order. The Talmud was finally closed in A.D. , by Rabbina Abina, the last of the amoraim.
