Matthew and Sinners Called

9 (A)And as Jesus went on from there, He saw a man called (B)Matthew, sitting in the tax office; and He *said to him, “(C)Follow Me!” And he stood up and followed Him.

10 [a]Then it happened that as [b]Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and [c]sinners came and were dining with Jesus and His disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, “(D)Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?” 12 But when Jesus heard this, He said, “It is not (E)those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick. 13 But go and learn [d](F)what this means: ‘(G)I desire [e]compassion, [f]and not sacrifice,’ for (H)I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Matthew Called to Follow Jesus

9 And as[a] Jesus was going away from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth and said to him, “Follow me!” And he stood up and[b] followed him.

10 And it happened as[c] he was dining[d] in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners were coming and[e] dining[f] with Jesus and his disciples. 11 And when they[g] saw it,[h] the Pharisees began to say to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 12 And when he[i] heard it,[j] he said, “Those who are healthy do not have need of a physician, but those who are sick.[k] 13 But go and[l] learn what it means, “I want mercy and not sacrifice.”[m] For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
