"Revolutionary and Appropriate"

Scripture-Matthew 9:9-13 The Common English Bible

 ⁹ As Jesus continued on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at a kiosk for collecting taxes. He said to him, "Follow me," and he got up and followed him. 

¹⁰ As Jesus sat down to eat in Matthew's house, many tax collectors and sinners joined Jesus and his disciples at the table. 

¹¹ But when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?" 

¹² When Jesus heard it, he said, "Healthy people don't need a doctor, but sick people do. 

¹³ Go and learn what this means: I want mercy and not sacrifice. I didn't come to call righteous people, but sinners."
