Lukas 5:27-32

Lukas 5:27-32 TOJB2011

And after these things Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach went out and saw a moches (tax collector) named Levi sitting in the tax office, and he said to him, Follow me. And having forsaken all and having got up, Levi was following Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach. And Levi arranged a large seudah in his bais for Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, and there was a great number of mochesim and others who were with them, reclining at tish. And the Perushim and their Sofrim were murmuring against Rebbe Melech HaMoshiachʼs talmidim, saying, Why with the mochesim and chote'im are you eating and drinking? And in reply, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, It is not the bariim who have need of a rofeh, but the cholim (sick persons); I have not come to call the tzaddikim but chote'im (sinners) to teshuva (repentance).
