Old Testament

Luke 5:27-32
The Calling of Levi (Matthew)
27After these things, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at the tax collector's booth. He said to him, “Follow me.”
28Levi left everything, got up, and followed Jesus. 29Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house. There was a large crowd of tax collectors and others dining with them. 30The Pharisees and experts in the law grumbled against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31Jesus answered them, “The healthy do not need a physician, but the sick do. 32I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
