The Gospel.

ANd as Iesus passed forth from thence, * hee saw a man (named Matthew) sitting at the receit of custome: and he said vnto him, Follow me. And hee arose, and followed him. And it came to passe, as Iesus sate at meate in his house, beholde, many Publicanes also and sinners that came, sate downe with Iesus and his disciples. And when the Pharises saw it, they said vnto his disciples, why eateth your master with Publicaues and sinners: But when Iesus heard that, he said vnto them, They that bee strong, neede not the Physicion, but they that are sicke. Goe yee rather and learne what that meaneth: I will haue mercie, and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
