Question: What is the correct wording of Luke 15:2-6? (Note: I'm asking about the correct wording of the passage, not about the actual practice in the church today). ;)
A. And the people of the church complained, saying, "This Man receives sinners and eats with them." But then they figured, "Well, He's probably giving them strong lectures and telling them how to get their acts together and live right, so we'll do the same and get out there and clean up our culture!"
B. And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, "This Man receives sinners and eats with them." So He spoke this parable to them, saying: "What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!'
C. "He eats tax collectors and sinners!"
