27After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,
28and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.
29Then Levi hosted a great banquet for Jesus at his house. A large crowd of tax collectors was there, along with others who were eating with them.
30But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
32I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
— Luke 5:27-32
