Matthew, Chapter 9, verses 9-13

⁹ As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man called Matthew, sitting in the tax collector’s booth; and He *said to him, “Follow Me!” And he got up and followed Him.

¹⁰ Then it happened that as^eJesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and^fsinners came and were dining with Jesus and His disciples. ¹¹ When the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, “Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?” ¹² But when Jesus heard this, He said, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick. ¹³ But go and learn^gwhat this means: ‘I DESIRE^hCOMPASSION,ⁱAND NOT SACRIFICE,’ for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
