The religious leaders and teachers started talking among themselves like, 'Who does this guy think he is, talking like that? That's straight up disrespectful to God. Only God himself can forgive sins.'

When the religious leaders saw Jesus hanging out and eating with tax collectors and people they considered 'bad,' they went straight to his followers and were like, 'Why is your teacher sitting at the same table as these people?'

I'm telling you straight up — if you're not living more righteously than the religious leaders and rule-followers, you're not getting into God's kingdom.
