13 And He went again by the sea; and all the multitude were coming to Him, and He was teaching them. 14 And passing by, He saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax-office, and saith to him, "Follow Me." And, rising up, he followed Him. 15 And it comes to pass that He reclines at table in his house, and many tax-collectors and sinners recline with Him and His disciples; for there were many, and they were following Him. 16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, seeing that He was eating with the sinners and tax-collectors, said to His disciples, "Why doth He eat with the tax-collectors and sinners?" 17 And Jesus, hearing it , says to them, "Those who are well need not a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners." Mark 2:13-17, Worrell New Testament. Public domain.
