Matthew 9:9-13 - Matthew Called To Follow Jesus
9 And Jesus departing thence saw a man sitting at the custom-house, called Matthew; and he said to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
10 And he was reclining in the house, and behold, many publicans and sinners came and reclined with Jesus and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw them they said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with publicans and sinners?
12 And hearing it he said, The well need not a physician, but the sick. 13 Go and learn what this means: I wish for mercy and not a sacrifice; for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
