* And as Jesus passed forth from thence , he saw a man , named Matthew , sitting at the receipt of custom : and he saith unto him , Follow me . And he arose , and followed him . * And it came to pass , as Jesus sat at meat in the house , behold , many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples . * And when the Pharisees saw it , they said unto his disciples , Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners ? * But when Jesus heard that , he said unto them , They that be whole need not a physician , but they that are sick . * But go ye and learn what that meaneth , I will have mercy , and not sacrifice : for I am not come to call the righteous , but sinners to repentance .
