# sinful people

The Pharisees used the phrase "sinful people" to refer to people who did not keep the law as well as the Pharisees thought they should.

|
|
# for there were many and they followed him
|
|
|
|
Possible meanings are 1) "for there were many tax collectors and sinful people who followed Jesus" or 2) "for Jesus had many disciples and they followed him."

# Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinful people?
|
|
|
|
The scribes and Pharisees asked this question to show they disapproved of Jesus' hospitality. This can be worded as a statement. AT: "He should not eat with sinners and tax collectors!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
