Luke 5:27-32

Levi and Sinners Called

27 ^aAnd after that He went out and noticed a tax collector named ¹^bLevi sitting in the tax office, and He said to him, “Follow Me.” 28 And he ^aleft everything behind, and rose up and began to follow Him.
29 And ^aLevi gave a big reception for Him in his house; and there was a great crowd of ^btax collectors and other people who were reclining at the table with them. 30 ^aAnd the Pharisees and their scribes began grumbling at His disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and ¹sinners?” 31 And Jesus answered and said to them, “^aIt is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”
