Text: Mark 2:13-17  13 And He went out again by the seashore; and all the [d]people were coming to Him, and He was teaching them. 14 As He passed by, He saw [e]Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting in the tax office, and He *said to him, “Follow Me!” And he got up and followed Him. 15 And it *happened that He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and [f]sinners were [g]dining with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many of them, and they were following Him. 16 When the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with the [h]sinners and tax collectors, they said to His disciples, “Why is He eating with tax collectors and [i]sinners?” 17 And hearing this, Jesus *said to them, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
