Matthew 9:9-13 - Matthew Called To Follow Jesus
9 And as Jesus passed on from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the customhouse; and he saith to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
10 And it came to pass, as he was reclining at table in the house, lo! many publicans and sinners came and reclined with Jesus and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why doth your teacher eat with the publicans and sinners?
12 But when he heard that, he said, They who are well do not need a physician, but they who are sick. 13 But go ye and learn what this meaneth: "I desire mercy, and not sacrifice." For I came not to call righteous men, but sinners.
