Mark 2:13-17

13And He went out again by the seashore; and 1all the 2people were coming to Him, and He was teaching them. 14 3As He passed by, He saw 4 5Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting in the tax booth, and He said to him, “6Follow Me!” And he got up and followed Him.

15And it 7happened that He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and 8sinners 9were dining with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many of them, and they were following Him. 16When 10the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they said to His disciples, “11Why is He eating and drinking with tax collectors and 12sinners?” 17And hearing this, Jesus said to them, “13It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
