Mateu 17: 9-13

9:9 And when Jesus passed on from there, he saw, sitting at the tax office, a man named Matthew. Iye akati kwaari, “Follow me.” And rising up, akamutevera.

9:10 Uye zvakaitika kuti, as he was sitting down to eat in the house, tarirai, many tax collectors and sinners arrived, and they sat down to eat with Jesus and his disciples.

9:11 And the Pharisees, ndichiona izvi, akati kuvadzidzi vake, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

9:12 Asi Jesu, hearing this, akadaro: “It is not those who are healthy who are in need of a physician, asi vaya vane zvirwere.

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