Ματθαίος 17: 9-13

9:9 And when Jesus passed on from there, he saw, sitting at the tax office, a man named Matthew. Και του είπε, “Follow me.” And rising up, τον ακολούθησε.

9:10 Και έγινε αυτό, as he was sitting down to eat in the house, βλέπω, many tax collectors and sinners arrived, and they sat down to eat with Jesus and his disciples.

9:11 And the Pharisees, βλέποντας αυτό, said to his disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

9:12 Αλλά ο Ιησούς, hearing this, είπε: “It is not those who are healthy who are in need of a physician, but those who have maladies.

9:13 Τότε λοιπόν, go out and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the just, but sinners.”
