Jesus Calls Levi

(Mt 9:9–13; Lk 5:27–32)

13 Jesusb went out again beside the sea; the whole crowd gathered around him, and he taught them. 14 As he was walking along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him.

15 And as he sat at dinnerc in Levi’sd house, many tax collectors and sinners were also sittinge with Jesus and his disciples—for there were many who followed him. 16 When the scribes off the Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they said to his disciples, “Why does he eatg with tax collectors and sinners?” 17 When Jesus heard this, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I have come to call not the righteous but sinners.”
