Marcos 2, 13-17 Mark 2: 13-17

NO HE VENIDO A LLAMAR A JUSTOS, SINO A PECADORES.

Jesús salió nuevamente a la orilla del mar; toda la gente acudía a él, y él les enseñaba. Al pasar vio a Leví, hijo de Alfeo, sentado a la mesa de recaudación de impuestos, y le dijo: "Sígueme". El se levantó y lo siguió. Mientras Jesús estaba comiendo en su casa, muchos publicanos y pecadores se sentaron a comer con él y sus discípulos; porque eran muchos los que lo seguían. Los escribas del grupo de los fariseos, al ver que comía con pecadores y publicanos, decían a los discípulos: "Por qué come con publicanos y pecadores?". Jesús que había oído, les dijo: "No son los sanos los que tienen necesidad del médico, sino los enfermos, yo no he venido a llamar a justos, sino a pecadores."

Jesus went out along the sea.
All the crowd came to him and he taught them.
As he passed by, he saw Levi, son of Alphaeus,
sitting at the customs post.
Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
And he got up and followed Jesus.
While he was at table in his house,
many tax collectors and sinners sat with Jesus and his disciples;
for there were many who followed him.
Some scribes who were Pharisees saw that Jesus was eating with sinners
and tax collectors and said to his disciples,
“Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
Jesus heard this and said to them,
“Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do.
I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.”
