KJV ORIGINAL
But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Go figure out what this actually means: I want you to show mercy, not just go through the religious motions. I didn't come here for the people who think they've got it all figured out — I came for the ones who know they're messed up and want to change.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Jesus is here for the broken people who want to get better, not the perfect people who think they don't need help.
