Mark 2:17 When Jesus heard it, he said to them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick… On one occasion, when the late Duke of Kent expressed some concern about the state of his soul in the prospect of death, his physician endeavoured to soothe his mind by referring to his high respectability and his honourable conduct in the distinguished situation in which Providence had placed him; but he stopped him short, saying, "No; remember, if I am to be saved, it is not as a prince, but as a sinner." Parallel Verses KJV: When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. |
