Gospel - Mt 9:9-13
9And when Jesus passed on from hence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.
10And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
11And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?
12But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill.
13Go then and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the just, but sinners.
