9 Jesus moved on. He then saw Matthew seated at his work collecting taxes. He said to him: »Follow me.« He rose and followed him.
10 Jesus was a dinner guest at Matthew’s house. Many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
11 When the Pharisees saw it, they asked his disciples: »Why does your Teacher eat with the tax collectors and sinners?«
12 When he heard it, he said: »People who are well do not have need of a physician. The sick do.
13 »You should learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice’; for I came, not to call the righteous, but sinners.«
