Once again Jesus went out beside the Sea of Galilee. A large crowd came to him. He began to teach them.As he walked along he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus. Levi was sitting at the tax collector’s booth.“ Follow me,” Jesus told him. Levi got up and followed him.Later Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house. Many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples. They were part of the large crowd following Jesus.Some teachers of the law who were Pharisees were there. They saw Jesus eating with sinners and tax collectors. So they asked his disciples,“ Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”Jesus heard that. So he said to them,“ Those who are healthy don’t need a doctor. Sick people do. I have not come to get those who think they are right with God to follow me. I have come to get sinners to follow me.”John’s disciples and the Pharisees were going without eating. Some people came to Jesus. They said to him,“ John’s disciples are fasting. The disciples of the Pharisees are also fasting. But your disciples are not. Why aren’t they?”Jesus answered,“ How can the guests of the groom go without eating while he is with them? They will not fast as long as he is with them.But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them. On that day they will go without eating.“ No one sews a patch of new cloth on old clothes. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old. That will make the tear worse.No one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins. Then the wine and the wineskins will both be destroyed. No, people pour new wine into new wineskins.”

As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew. He was sitting at the tax collector’s booth.“ Follow me,” Jesus told him. Matthew got up and followed him.Later Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house. Many tax collectors and sinners came. They ate with Jesus and his disciples.The Pharisees saw this. So they asked the disciples,“ Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”Jesus heard this. So he said,“ Those who are healthy don’t need a doctor. Sick people do.Go and learn what this means,‘ I want mercy and not sacrifice.’( Hosea 6:6) I have not come to get those who think they are right with God to follow me. I have come to get sinners to follow me.”One day John’s disciples came. They said to Jesus,“ We and the Pharisees often go without eating. Why don’t your disciples go without eating?”Jesus answered,“ How can the guests of the groom be sad while he is with them? The time will come when the groom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast.“ People don’t sew a patch of new cloth on old clothes. The new piece will pull away from the old. That will make the tear worse.People don’t pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst. The wine will run out, and the wineskins will be destroyed. No, people pour new wine into new wineskins. Then both are saved.”

There were also Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, and James, son of Alphaeus. And there were Thaddaeus and Simon the Zealot.

Next were Philip and Bartholomew, and also Thomas and Matthew the tax collector. Two more were James, son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus.

When Jesus heard this, he said to him,“ You are still missing one thing. Sell everything you have. Give the money to those who are poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me.”

Then Jesus spoke to his disciples. He said,“ Whoever wants to be my disciple must say no to themselves. They must pick up their cross and follow me.

The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. He found Philip and said to him,“ Follow me.”

Anyone who serves me must follow me. And where I am, my servant will also be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.

But Jesus told him,“ Follow me. Let the dead bury their own dead.”

“ Come and follow me,” Jesus said.“ I will send you out to fish for people.”At once they left their nets and followed him.Going on from there, he saw two other brothers. They were James, son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee. As they were preparing their nets, Jesus called out to them.

Jesus said this to point out how Peter would die. His death would bring glory to God. Then Jesus said to him,“ Follow me!”Peter turned around. He saw that the disciple Jesus loved was following them. He was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper. He had said,“ Lord, who is going to hand you over to your enemies?”When Peter saw that disciple, he asked,“ Lord, what will happen to him?”Jesus answered,“ Suppose I want him to remain alive until I return. What does that matter to you? You must follow me.”
