Mat. 9:9–13 And passing along from there, Jesus saw a man seated at his desk in the custom’s office, a collector of export and import duties, called Matthew. And He says to him, Start following with me as my disciple and consider it a permanent appointment. And having arisen, he followed with Him as His disciple. And it came to pass that He was reclining at the dinner table in the house. And behold, many tax collectors and other sinners stained with certain vices or crimes having come, were feasting together with Jesus and His disciples. And having seen this, the Pharisees were saying to His disciples, For what reason with the tax collectors and men stained with such vices and crimes is your teacher eating? And having heard this, He said, No need do those have who are in sound health, of a doctor, but those who are ill; having gone on your way, learn what is meant, Mercy I am desiring, and not a sacrifice offered on an altar. For I did not come to call men righteous in character but those who are sinners by nature.
