Mark 2:13-17

Mark 2:13-17 CSB

Jesus  went out again beside the sea. The whole crowd was coming to him, and he was teaching  them. Then, passing by, he saw Levi  the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office,  and he said to him, “Follow me,”   and he got up and followed  him. While he was reclining at the table in Levi’s house, many tax collectors  and sinners  were eating  with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who were following him. When the scribes  who were Pharisees  , saw that he was eating  with sinners  and tax collectors,  they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat  with tax collectors and sinners? ” When Jesus heard this, he told them, “It is not those who are well who need   a doctor,   but those who are sick.   I didn’t come to call the righteous,   but sinners.”
