Matthew 9:9-13 - Matthew Called To Follow Jesus
9 And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.
10 And it came to pass, as he lay at table in the house, that behold, many tax-gatherers and sinners came and lay at table with Jesus and his disciples. 11 And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with tax-gatherers and sinners?
12 But Jesus hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill. 13 But go and learn what that is I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous men but sinners.
