February 25, 2012 Gospel~The Call of Levi

Luke 5:27-32

27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting in his office. Jesus said to him,
Follow me.28Levi got up, left everything, and followed him.

29 Then Levi had a big feast in his house for Jesus, and among the guests was a large number of tax collectors and other people.30 Some Pharisees and some teachers of the Law who belonged to their group complained to Jesus’ disciples.
Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and other outcasts? they asked.

31 Jesus answered them,
People who are well do not need a doctor, but only those who are sick.32 I have not come to call respectable people to repent, but outcasts.
