Gospel : Luke 5:27-32

27 After these things he went out, and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, "Follow me!"

28 He left everything, and rose up and followed him.

29 Levi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a great crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.

30 Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?"

31 Jesus answered them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

Isaiah 58:9b-14

9b "If you take away from amongst you the yoke,
finger pointing,
and speaking wickedly;

10 and if you pour out your soul to the hungry,
and satisfy the afflicted soul:
then your light will rise in darkness,
and your obscurity will be as the noonday;

11 and the LORD will guide you continually,
and satisfy your soul in dry places,
and make your bones strong;
and you shall be like a watered garden,
and like a spring of water,
whose waters don't fail.

12 Those who shall be of you shall build the old waste places;
you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
and you shall be called Repairer of the Breach,
Restorer of Paths with Dwellings.

13 "If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,
from doing your pleasure on my holy day;
and call the Sabbath a delight,
and the holy of the LORD honourable;
and shall honour it,
not doing your own ways,
nor finding your own pleasure,
nor speaking your own words:

14 then you shall delight yourself in the LORD;
and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth;
and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father:"
for the LORD's mouth has spoken it.
