27And after these things he went out, and saw Levi, a tax-farmer, seated at the place where taxes were taken, and said to him, Come after me.
28And giving up his business, he got up and went after him.
29And Levi made a great feast for him in his house: and a great number of tax-farmers and others were seated at table with them.
30And the Pharisees and their scribes made protests against his disciples, saying, Why do you take food and drink with tax-farmers and sinners?
31And Jesus, answering, said to them, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.
32I have come, not to get the upright, but sinners, so that they may be turned from their sins.
33And they said to him, The disciples of John frequently go without food, and make prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees; but your disciples take food and drink.
