Luke 5:24-33
English Standard Version
Chapter 5
24But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" — he said to the man who was paralyzed — "I say to you, rise, pick up your bed and go home." 25And immediately he rose up before them and picked up what he had been lying on and went home, glorifying God. 26And amazement seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, "We have seen extraordinary things today."
27After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth. And he said to him, "Follow me."
28And leaving everything, he rose and followed him.
29And 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.
30And the Pharisees and their scribes grumbled at his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"
31And Jesus answered them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.
32I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance."
