Mark 2:13–17
Jesus went out again beside the sea; the
whole crowd gathered around him, and he taught them. As he was walking along,
he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him,
"Follow me." And he got up and followed him. And as he sat at dinner
in Levi's house, many tax collectors and sinners were also sitting with Jesus
and his disciples--for there were many who followed him. When the scribes of
the Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they said
to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
When Jesus heard this, he said to them, "Those who are well have no need
of a physician, but those who are sick; I have come to call not the righteous
but sinners."
Reflection
l How do I feel about Jesus’ calling of me, an order, an invitation, a
whisper, or a definite challenge?
l How it provokes me?
