No, it means Jesus came to save everyone, but especially those who recognize they have sinned and are in need of his help. Everyone needs God's grace.

How does the physician analogy work here?

Just as a doctor treats sick people, not healthy ones, Jesus focuses on those who realize their spiritual illness and seek healing through him.

What does it mean to be 'righteous' in this context?

'Righteous' here likely refers to those who think they don't need help from Jesus. The verse suggests that humility and recognizing one's need for salvation is crucial.

We should share this message warmly, encouraging people to recognize their need for God’s grace without judgment, just as Jesus did.
