Luke 5:27-32

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom, and he said to him: Follow me.

²⁸ And leaving all things, he rose up and followed him.

²⁹ And Levi made him a great feast in his own house; and there was a great company of publicans, and of others, that were at table with them.

³⁰ But the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying to his disciples: Why do you eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

³¹ And Jesus answering, said to them: They that are whole, need not the physician: but they that are sick.

³² I came not to call the just, but sinners to penance.
