Matthew 9:9-13 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

9. As Yeshua passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed him.

10. As he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Yeshua and his disciples.

11. When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your rabbi eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12. When Yeshua heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

13. But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
