Context
13Yesu akaenda tena kandokando ya Bahari ya Galilaya. Umati mkubwa wa watu ukamfuata, naye akaanza kuwafundisha. 14Alipokuwa akitembea, akamwona Lawi mwana wa Alfayo ameketi forodhani mahali pa kutoza ushuru, akamwambia, “Nifuate.” Lawi akaondoka, akamfuata Yesu. 15Yesu alipokuwa akila chakula nyumbani mwa Lawi, watoza ushuru wengi pamoja na “wenye dhambi” walikuwa wakila pamoja naye na wanafunzi wake, kwa maana kulikuwa na watu wengi waliokuwa wakimfuata. 16Baadhi ya walimu wa sheria waliokuwa Mafarisayo walipomwona akila pamoja na watoza ushuru na “wenye dhambi,” wakawauliza wanafunzi wake: “Mbona Yesu anakula pamoja na watoza ushuru na ‘wenye dhambi’?” 17Yesu aliposikia haya akawaambia, “Watu wenye afya hawahitaji tabibu, bali walio wagonjwa. Sikuja kuwaita wenye haki, bali wenye dhambi.”
