Jesus Calls Levi (LUK 5:27-32)

[5:27] After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth. And he said to him, “Follow me.”

[5:28] And leaving everything, he rose and followed him.

[5:29] And Levi made him a great feast in his house, and there was a large company of tax collectors and others reclining at table with them.

[5:30] And the Pharisees and their scribes grumbled at his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

[5:31] And Jesus answered them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

[5:32] I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”
