8 Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,

to his faithful, to those who turn to him in their hearts.[a](A)
9 Surely his salvation is at hand for those who fear him,
that his glory may dwell in our land.(B)
10 Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet;
righteousness and peace will kiss each other.(C)

Jesus Calls Levi
27 After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax-collection station, and he said to him, “Follow me.” 28 And he got up, left everything, and followed him.(A)
29 Then Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house, and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others reclining at the table with them.(B) 30 The Pharisees and their scribes were complaining to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”(C) 31 Jesus answered them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician but those who are sick; 32 I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”(D)
