The Call of Levi (Matthew)

Luke 5:27-32

After these things he went out, and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me!”

He left everything, and rose up and followed him.

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

Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”

Yeshua answered them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

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