Luke 15: The tax collectors and sinners crowded around Jesus, soaking up His preaching. The "good guys" were crabby. "Eeeeuw -- this guy hangs out with sinners. He even eats with them. [shudder] Yish."
So the exact same words -- "Jesus sinners doth receive" -- have various meanings. It could be a complaint (as from the scribes and Pharisees). Or it could be a simple statement of fact. Or it could be high praise and thanksgiving to a gracious Lord.
