Help me find this verse

[Wan]

Hello. I heard this phrase from someone a really long time ago, I can only remember parts of it. I hope that someone here can help me finding the entire sentence.

It goes roughly like: Jesus walked among thieves, prostitutes...

That's all I can remember. I tried to google it but it only gave me "Jesus walked among sinners". Anyway please help, thanks.

I wonder if your thinking of Matthew 9:10-17, Mark 2:15-22, and Luke 5:29-39.

The Pharisees rebuke Jesus for sitting down with, and then eating with, tax collectors and various sinners. The “sinners” would have been people held in a similar regard as tax collectors… which was a pretty low standard.

Matthew 9:10-12, NASB
10 Then it happened that as [a]Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and [b]sinners came and began dining with Jesus and His disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, “Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?”12 But when Jesus heard this, He said, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick.

NLT version:
Matthew 11:18 For John didn’t spend his time eating and drinking, and you say, ‘He’s possessed by a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man, on the other hand, feasts and drinks, and you say, ‘He’s a glutton and a drunkard, and a friend of tax collectors and other sinners!’ But wisdom is shown to be right by its results.”

This is Jesus talking about those opposing and lying about John the Baptist and Jesus.

Jesus Ate With Tax Collectors, Prostitutes, and Other Sinners, and We Can Too

In the Gospels, Jesus regularly ate with sinners. This is the case even for those who are often rejected in the New Testament, such as tax collectors and prostitutes. This is kind of surprising, is…
