9 And [as] Jesus was going away from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth and said to him, "Follow me!" And he stood up [and] followed him.
10
And it happened [as] he {was dining} in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners were coming [and] {dining} with Jesus and his disciples.
11
And [when they] saw [it], the Pharisees began to say to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
12
And [when he] heard [it], he said, "Those who are healthy do not have need of a physician, but those {who are sick}.
13
But go [and] learn what it means, "I want mercy and not sacrifice." For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
[l].
*Here "[and]" is supplied because the previous participle ("go") has been translated as a finite verb
[m].
