In this verse from Luke's Gospel, Jesus explains that a doctor helps sick people and not those who are already healthy. He is saying that he came to help those in need of spiritual healing.

Объяснение для детей

Imagine you have a toy box full of broken toys. Your friend comes over with glue and tools to fix the toys. They don't just give away new ones, but they fix what's broken. Jesus is like that friend, helping people who are hurting or in need.

Исторический контекст

This verse was written by Luke, a doctor and historian, around 60-85 AD. He wrote to Greek-speaking Christians living outside of Israel, highlighting Jesus as the Messiah who came for all people, especially those needing spiritual healing.
