Mark 2:14-16

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴ Then, passing by, he saw Levi^(A) the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office,^(B) and he said to him, “Follow me,”^(C) and he got up and followed^(D) him.

¹⁵ While he was reclining at the table in Levi’s house, many tax collectors^(E) and sinners^(F) were eating^[a] with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who were following him. ¹⁶ When the scribes^(G) who were Pharisees^[b](H) saw that he was eating^(I) with sinners^(J) and tax collectors,^(K) they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat^[c] with tax collectors and sinners?”
