Luke 5:28-30

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁸ And he forsook everything and got up and followed Him [becoming His disciple and siding with His party].

²⁹ And Levi (Matthew) made a great banquet for Him in his own house, and there was a large company of tax collectors and others who were reclining [at the table] with them.

³⁰ Now the Pharisees and their scribes were grumbling against Jesus’ disciples, saying, Why are you eating and drinking with tax collectors and [preeminently] sinful people?
