Then Levi gave a great banquet in his house for Jesus, and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others sitting at the table with them.But the Pharisees and their experts in the law complained to his disciples, saying,“ Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”Jesus answered them,“ Those who are well don’t need a physician, but those who are sick do.I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

As Jesus was having a meal in Levi’s home, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.When the experts in the law and 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 healthy don’t need a physician, but those who are sick do. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is devout and does his will, God listens to him.

even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor, and an arrogant man. But I was treated with mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief,and our Lord’s grace was abundant, bringing faith and love in Christ Jesus.This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance:“ Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”– and I am the worst of them!But here is why I was treated with mercy: so that in me as the worst, Christ Jesus could demonstrate his utmost patience, as an example for those who are going to believe in him for eternal life.

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Even the tax collectors do the same, don’t they?And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do? Even the Gentiles do the same, don’t they?
