Luke 5:23-33

23 Which is easier to say: Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say: Arise and walk?
24 But that you may know that the Son of man hath the power on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy), I say to thee to: Arise, take up thy bed and go into thy house.
25 And immediately rising up before them, he took up the bed on which he lay: and he went away to his own house, glorifying God.
26 And all were astonished: and they glorified God. And they were filled with fear, saying: We have seen wonderful things to-day.
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.
33 And they said to him: Why do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and the disciples of the Pharisees in like manner; but thine eat and drink?
