Luke 5:27-32
1599 Geneva Bible
27 ¶ (A)[a]And after that, he went forth and saw a Publican named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me.
28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
29 Then Levi made him a great feast in his own house, where there was a great company of Publicans, and of others that sat at table with them.
30 But they that were Scribes and Pharisees among them, murmured against his disciples, saying, Why eat ye and drink ye with Publicans and sinners?
31 Then Jesus answered, and said unto them, They that are whole, need not the Physician, but they that are sick.
32 (B)I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
