In this overview, we explore key moments where Jesus engaged with sinners and challenged Jewish traditions. He called Levi, a tax collector, to follow him, affirming his mission to reach out to the sick rather than the righteous. At Levi's dinner, he faced criticism from Jewish authorities for mingling with sinners, to which he responded about the need for a physician. Jesus also addressed fasting practices and redefined the purpose of the Sabbath, emphasizing that it serves humanity's needs, using relatable analogies to convey his messages.
