I think Jesus was talking to or about the pharasies who complained about him eating with sinners. when he said I have come for the sinners not those who beleieve they are saved.
I will look for the verse now
this may be one but not what I was looking for
1 Timothy 1:14-16 (New International Version)
14The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
15Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. 16But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life.
thank you ace
Matthew 9:12
12On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

If you feel you are good and have no need, you would think anyone trying to save you from your goodness was a lunatic.
However if you were literally drowning and someone pulled you out, you would call them savior.

(LUKE 5:31-32) In reply Jesus said to them: “Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but those who are ailing do. 32Â I have come to call, not righteous persons, but sinners to repentance.”
