[:en]Tax collectors were often hated by the people because of their greed and dishonesty. But when Jesus saw Levi, the tax collector sitting in his booth, he said: “Follow me” (Mark 2:14). Levi immediately followed Jesus and invited him for dinner at his house. When the religious saw it, they asked: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners/” Jesus replied: “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners” (Mark 2:16-17)
May follow Jesus by reaching out to people who need the Savior.[:]
