The Call of Levi (Matthew)

Luke 5:27-32

The Call of Levi (Matthew)

27
And after these things he went forth, and beheld a tax-gatherer, by name Levi, sitting at the tax-office, and said to him, `Be following me;'
28
and he, having left all, having arisen, did follow him.
29
And Levi made a great entertainment to him in his house, and there was a great multitude of tax-gatherers and others who were with them reclining (at meat),
30
and the scribes and the Pharisees among them were murmuring at his disciples, saying, `Wherefore with tax-gatherers and sinners do ye eat and drink?'
31
And Jesus answering said unto them, `They who are well have no need of a physician, but they that are ill:
32
I came not to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation.'
