Jeesuksen elämä
Matthew Called
Jesus calls the tax collector Matthew from the tax booth to follow him. Later, Jesus eats with tax collectors and sinners, and when the Pharisees criticize this, he answers that it is the sick who need a doctor, and that he has come to call sinners, not the righteous.
Matteuksen evankeliumi 9,9-13
9As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, "Follow me." And Matthew got up and followed him.
Καὶ παράγων ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐκεῖθεν εἶδεν ἄνθρωπον καθήμενον ἐπὶ τὸ τελώνιον, Μαθθαῖον λεγόμενον, καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· Ἀκολούθει μοι· καὶ ἀναστὰς ἠκολούθησεν αὐτῷ.
10Later, while Jesus was reclining at table in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and were eating with him and his disciples.
Καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῦ ἀνακειμένου ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ, ⸀καὶ ἰδοὺ πολλοὶ τελῶναι καὶ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἐλθόντες συνανέκειντο τῷ Ἰησοῦ καὶ τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ.
11When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
καὶ ἰδόντες οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ⸀ἔλεγον τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ· Διὰ τί μετὰ τῶν τελωνῶν καὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν ἐσθίει ὁ διδάσκαλος ὑμῶν;
12Hearing them, he said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
ὁ ⸀δὲ ἀκούσας ⸀εἶπεν· Οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσιν οἱ ἰσχύοντες ἰατροῦ ἀλλὰ οἱ κακῶς ἔχοντες.
13Go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
πορευθέντες δὲ μάθετε τί ἐστιν· Ἔλεος θέλω καὶ οὐ θυσίαν· οὐ γὰρ ἦλθον καλέσαι δικαίους ἀλλὰ ⸀ἁμαρτωλούς.
