5:29 Then 9 Levi gave a great banquet 10 in his house for Jesus, 11 and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others sitting 12 at the table with them. 5:30 But 13 the Pharisees 14 and their experts in the law 15 complained 16 to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” 17 5:31 Jesus 18 answered them, “Those who are well don’t need a physician, but those who are sick do. 19 5:32 I have not come 20 to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” 21
