SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:30
Y los escribas y los fariseos murmuraban contra sus discípulos, diciendo: ¿Por qu comis y bebis con los publicanos y pecadores?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 5:30
Verse 30. Why do ye eat and drink, &c.] See what passed at this entertainment considered at large on Matt. ix. 10-17; Mark ii. 15-22.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 30. But their Scribes and Pharisees , etc.] Not the Scribes of the publicans and sinners that sat down, but the Scribes of the people in general; the Scribes of the Jewish nation: all the eastern versions leave out the word their: murmured against his disciples, saying ; or, murmured, and said unto his disciples, as the Syriac and Persic versions render it: that is, they either murmured at the publicans and sinners sitting down at meat; or against him, as the Ethiopic version reads: either against Matthew for inviting them; or rather against Christ for sitting down with them: and not caring to speak to him, address themselves to his disciples in these words, why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners? The other evangelists represent these as saying, why does he, or your master, eat with such? doubtless, they included both Christ, and his disciples; though they chiefly designed him, and to bring an accusation against him, and fix a charge upon him, in order to render him odious to the people.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 27-39 - It was a wonder of Christ's grace, that he would call a publican to be his disciple and follower. It was a wonder of his grace, that the cal was made so effectual. It was a wonder of his grace, that he came to call sinners to repentance, and to assure them of pardon. It was wonder of his grace, that he so patiently bore the contradiction of sinners against himself and his disciples. It was a wonder of his grace, that he fixed the services of his disciples according to their strength and standing. The Lord trains up his people gradually for the trials allotted them; we should copy his example in dealing with the weak in faith, or the tempted believer __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies
5:30 {The Pharisees and their scribes} (hoi farisaioi kai hoi grammateis autwn). Note article with each substantive and the order, not "scribes and Pharisees," but "the Pharisees and the scribes of them" (the Pharisees). Some manuscripts omit "their," but #Mr 2:16 (the scribes of the Pharisees) shows that it is correct here. Some of the scribes were Sadducees. It is only the Pharisees who find fault here. {Murmured} (egogguzon). Imperfect active. Picturesque onomatopoetic word that sounds like its meaning. A late word used of the cooing of doves. It is like the buzzing of bees, like tonqorruzw of literary Greek. They were not invited to this feast and would not have come if they had been. But, not being invited, they hang on the outside and criticize the disciples of Jesus for being there. The crowd was so large that the feast may have been served out in the open court at Levi's house, a sort of reclining garden party. {The publicans and sinners} (twn telwnwn kai hamartwlwn). Here Luke is quoting the criticism of the critics. Note one article making one group of all of them.
