9
As Yeshua passed by from there, he saw a man called Mattityahu sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, "Follow me." He got up and followed him.
10
It happened as he reclined in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and reclined with Yeshua and his talmidim.
11
When the Perushim saw it, they said to his talmidim, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
12
When Yeshua heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
13
But you go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
