27 And after these, he went out, and saw a publican, by name Levi, sitting by the custom-house; and he said to him, Follow me.

28 And having left all, having risen, he followed him.

29 And Levi made a great entertainment for him in his house: and there was a great crowd of publicans and others who were sitting down with them.

30 And the scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Wherefore eat and drink ye with publicans and sinful?

31 And Jesus, having answered, said to them, Those being in good health have no need of a physician; but they being ill.

32 I came not to call the just, but the sinful to repentance.
