And Jesus answering said unto them,
They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
All Commentaries on Luke 5:31 Go To Luke 5
Irenaeus of Lyons
AD 202
Or what medical man, anxious to heal a sick person, would prescribe in accordance with the patient's whims, and not according to the requisite medicine? But that the Lord came as the physician of the sick, He does Himself declare saying, "They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
