Mark 2:14-17

LEB(i) 14 And as he* was passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, "Follow me!" And he stood up and* followed him. 15 And it happened that he was dining* in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners were dining with* Jesus and his disciples, for there were many and they were following him. 16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they* saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, began to say* to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?" 17 And when* Jesus heard it*, he said to them, "Those who are healthy do not have need of a physician, but those who are sick.* I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
