Gospel of the day: Luke 5:27-32 

(February 20, 2021) 

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke 

Jesus Calls Levi (Matthew)

Jesus saw a tax collector, named Levi, sitting at the tax office; and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he left everything and rose and followed him. And Levi made him a great feast in his house, and there was a large company of tax collectors and others sitting at a table with them. And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” And Jesus answered them, “Healthy people don't need a doctor - sick people do. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
