Luke 5:32

I have not come ¹  to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” ² 

Isa 55:6,7; Isa 57:15; Mt 18:11; Mr 15:7,10; Lu 4:18,19; Lu 15:7,10; Lu 18:10-14; Lu 19:10; Lu 24:47; Ac 2:38; Ac 3:19,26; Ac 5:31; Ac 17:30; Ac 20:21; Ac 26:18-20; 1Co 6:9-11; 1Ti 1:15,16; 2Ti 2:25,26; 2Pe 3:9

¹ sn I have not come is another commission statement by Jesus; see 4:43-44.

² sn Though parallels exist to this saying (Matt 9:13; Mark 2:17), only Luke has this last phrase but sinners to repentance. Repentance is a frequent topic in Luke’s Gospel: 3:3, 8; 13:1-5; 15:7, 10; 16:30; 17:3-4; 24:47.
