Matthew 9:9-13 - Matthew Called To Follow Jesus
9 And as Jesus passed by from that place, he saw a man named Matthew, sitting at the custom-house; and he said to him: Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
10 And it came to pass that, while Jesus was reclining at table in his house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and reclined at table with him and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples: "Why does your teacher eat with publicans and sinners?
12 When Jesus heard it, he said to them: Those who are in health have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: I desire mercy, and not sacrifice. For I came not to call righteous men, but sinners to repentance.
