27 After that, Jesus left. He saw a tax collector named Levi sitting in a tax office. Jesus said to him, |Follow me!| 28 So Levi got up, left everything, and followed him. 29 Levi held a large reception at his home for Jesus. A huge crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them. 30 The Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus' disciples. They asked, |Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?| 31 Jesus answered them, |Healthy people don't need a doctor; those who are sick do. 32 I've come to call sinners to change the way they think and act, not to call people who think they have God's approval.| Luke 5:27-32, God's Word Translation.
