Gospel
text (Lc 5,27-32): After
this Jesus went out, and as He noticed a tax collector named Levi sitting in
the tax-office, He said to him, «Follow me». So Levi, leaving everything, got
up and followed Jesus. Levi gave a great feast for Jesus, and many tax
collectors came to his house and took their place at table with the other
people. Then the Pharisees and their fellow teachers complained to Jesus'
disciples, «How is it that you eat and drink with tax collectors and other
sinners?». But Jesus spoke up, «Healthy people don't need a doctor, but sick
people do. I have come to call to repentance; I call sinners, not the
righteous».
