Matthew 9:9-13
New Living Translation
Jesus Calls Matthew
9 As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at his tax collector’s booth. “Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. So Matthew got up and followed him.
10 Later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. 11 But when the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with such scum?[a]”
12 When Jesus heard this, he said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do.” 13 Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’[b] For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”

Nueva Traducción Viviente
Jesús llama a Mateo
9 Mientras caminaba, Jesús vio a un hombre llamado Mateo sentado en su cabina de cobrador de impuestos. «Sígueme y sé mi discípulo», le dijo Jesús. Entonces Mateo se levantó y lo siguió.
10 Más tarde, Mateo invitó a Jesús y a sus discípulos a una cena en su casa, junto con muchos cobradores de impuestos y otros pecadores de mala fama. 11 Cuando los fariseos vieron esto, preguntaron a los discípulos: «¿Por qué su maestro come con semejante escoria[a]?».
12 Cuando Jesús los oyó, les dijo: «La gente sana no necesita médico, los enfermos sí». 13 Luego añadió: «Ahora vayan y aprendan el significado de la siguiente Escritura: “Quiero que tengan compasión, no que ofrezcan sacrificios”[b]. Pues no he venido a llamar a los que se creen justos, sino a los que saben que son pecadores».

New International Version
The Calling of Matthew(A)
9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,”(B) he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.
10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”(C)
12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’[a](D) For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”(E)
