*
Then he went out again beside the sea ;
and all the crowd came to him ,
and he taught them .
*
As he passed by ,
he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office ,
and he said to him , »
Follow me .«
So he rose and followed him .
*
And as he sat at table in Levi '
s house ,
many tax collectors and sinners were sitting with Jesus and his disciples ;
for there were many who followed him .
*
And the scribes of the Pharisees ,
when they saw him eating with sinners and tax collectors ,
said to his disciples , »
Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners ?«
*
And when Jesus heard it ,
he said to them , »
Those who are well have no need of a physician ,
but those who are sick .
I did not come to call the righteous ,
but sinners .«
