Luke 5:27-32 ▼

27 After these things he went out, and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, |Follow me.|

28 He left everything, and rose up and followed him.

29 Levi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a large crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.

30 The Pharisees and their scribes grumbled at his disciples, saying, |Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?|

31 Jesus answered them, |Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.|
