Luke 5:27-32

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

28And he got up and followed him, leaving everything behind.

29Then Levi gave a great banquet in his house for Jesus, and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others sitting at the table with them.

30But the Pharisees and their experts in the law complained to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Jesus answered them, “Those who are well don’t need a physician, but those who are sick do.

32I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
