The Call of Matthew

Matthew 9:9-13

As Yeshua passed on from there he spotted a tax-collector named Mattityahu sitting in his collection booth. He said to him, "Follow me!" and he got up and followed him.

WhileYeshua was in the house eating, many tax-collectors and sinners came and joined him and his talmidim at the meal.

When the P'rushim saw this, they said to his talmidim, "Why does your rabbi eat with tax-collectors and sinners?"

But Yeshua heard the question and answered, "The ones who need a doctor aren't the healthy but the sick.

As for you, go and learn what this means: `I want compassion rather than animal-sacrifices.' For I didn't come to call the `righteous,' but sinners!"
