The Lost ones

'This man welcomes sinners," "he shows mercy to them," "he forgives" were 'complaints' from the sinless. The response of Jesus shows how precious they are to him. They are not lost ones, they are the loved ones. In the context of the parable those lost ones were not living in sin, but they were the ones rejected by the sinless. The 'holy ones' could afford to be blameless and perfect before the people. The lost ones could not do that. God rejoices in finding them where they are.
