2:13	And he came out again beside the sea.
	And all the crowd came before him.
	And he taught them.
2:14	And leading beside, he saw Levi, the (son) of Alpheaus, sitting on the tax booth.
	And he says to him, ... "Follow me."
	And standing up he followed to him.
2:15	And it happened he is lying down in his house, ...
	and many tax collectors and sinners were together to the reclining Jesus and to his disciples, ...
	for there were many and they followed him.
2:16	And the scribes of the pharisees, ...
	seeing that he eats with the sinners and tax collectors, ...
	were saying to the disciples of him, ... "That with the tax collectors and sinners does he eat?"
2:17	And having heard, Jesus says to them, ... "The strong ones have no need of a healer, but rather the ones having illness."
	"I came not to call righteous ones, but rather sinners."
