disciples.
MAT 9:11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples,
Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
MAT 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be
whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
MAT 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and
not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance.
MAT 9:14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and
the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
