Lewi (Matius) mengikuti Yesus
(Mat 9:9-13; Luk 5:27-32)
13 Yesus pergi lagi ke tepi danau. Banyak orang datang mengelilingi-Nya, lalu Yesus mulai mengajar mereka. 14 Ketika Yesus berjalan, Ia melihat seorang yang bernama Lewi, anak Alfeus sedang duduk di tempat di mana ia memungut pajak. Yesus berkata kepada Lewi, “Ikutlah Aku.” Lewi berdiri dan mengikuti Yesus.
15 Setelah itu, Yesus makan di rumah Lewi. Banyak pemungut pajak dan orang-orang yang martabatnya buruk telah menjadi pengikut Yesus. Jadi, mereka semuanya ini sedang makan bersama Yesus dan pengikut-Nya. 16 Ketika beberapa guru Taurat dari golongan Farisi melihat Yesus sedang makan bersama orang-orang berdosa itu, mereka bertanya kepada pengikut-Nya, “Mengapa Ia makan dengan pemungut pajak dan orang-orang berdosa?”
17 Ketika Yesus mendengar itu, Ia berkata kepada mereka, “Orang-orang sakitlah yang memerlukan dokter, bukan mereka yang sehat. Aku datang untuk memanggil orang-orang berdosa mengikuti Aku, bukan mereka yang melakukan semuanya dengan benar.”

Mark 2:13-17
New Catholic Bible
13 Jesus Calls Levi (Matthew). Once again Jesus went out to the shore of the lake,[a] and as a large crowd came to him, he taught them. 14 As he was walking along, he saw Levi[b] the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector’s booth. Jesus said to him, “Follow me,” and he got up and followed him.
15 Jesus Eats with Sinners. When he was sitting at dinner in his[c] house, many tax collectors and sinners were seated with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed Jesus. 16 Some scribes who were Pharisees noticed that Jesus was eating with sinners and tax collectors, and they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 17 When Jesus overheard this remark, he said, “It is not the healthy who need a physician, but rather those who are sick. I have come to call not the righteous but sinners.”

- Mark 2:14 Levi: another name of Matthew (Jews often had two names). The taxes in question were collected on goods that entered or left the city. The system was established by the Romans, but the collection of taxes and duties was handed over to private organizations whose employees were not infrequently corrupt. See also note on Mt 5:46.
- Mark 2:15 His: i.e., Levi’s (see Lk 5:29). Sinners: those who were ostentatiously wicked and those who did not follow the Law as interpreted by the scribes. The term was customarily applied to collaborators, robbers, adulterers, and the like.
