1 One Sabbath, when he went to dine at the house of a ruler of the Pharisees, they were watching him carefully.2 And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy.3 And Jesus responded to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?”4 But they remained silent. Then he took him and healed him and sent him away.5 And he said to them, “Which of you, having a son or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?”6 And they could not reply to these things.
Luke 5
27 After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth. And he said to him, “Follow me.”28 And leaving everything, he rose and followed him.29 And Levi made him a great feast in his house, and there was a large company of tax collectors and others reclining at table with them.30 And the Pharisees and their scribes grumbled at his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”31 And Jesus answered them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.32 I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”
Mark 2
13 He went out again beside the sea, and all the crowd was coming to him, and he was teaching them.14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.15 And as he reclined at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”17 And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Matthew
9 Amikor Jézus továbbment onnan, meglátott egy embert a vámszedő helyen ülni, akit Máténak hívtak, és így szólt hozzá: Kövess engem! Az felkelt, és követte őt.10 És történt, amikor Jézus asztalnál ült a házban, hogy sok vámszedő és bűnös jött, és odatelepedett Jézushoz és az ő tanítványaihoz.11 Meglátták ezt a farizeusok, és szóltak tanítványainak: Miért eszik a ti mesteretek vámszedőkkel és bűnösökkel együtt?12 Ő pedig, amikor ezt meghallotta, így szólt: Nem az egészségeseknek van szükségük orvosra, hanem a betegeknek.13 Menjetek, és tanuljátok meg, mit jelent ez: „Irgalmasságot akarok, és nem áldozatot.” Mert nem azért jöttem, hogy az igazakat hívjam, hanem a bűnösöket.
