‏ Luke 5:27-32

Call of Levi (Matthew)

27 aAfter that He went out and looked at a tax collector named
Also called Matthew
cLevi sitting in the tax office, and He said to him, Follow Me.”
28And he dleft everything behind, and got up and began following Him.

29 And eLevi gave a big reception for Him in his house; and there was a large crowd of ftax collectors and other people who were reclining at the table with them. 30 gThe Pharisees and their scribes began grumbling to His disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and
I.e., irreligious Jews
sinners?”
31And Jesus answered and said to them, iIt is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners.”
