I did not come to call the virtuous, but sinners.
This reading corresponds with the beginning of the caput given below. The reading is a rich interweaving of the three synoptics.

LVI. Ubi Levi publicanus convivium ei fecit et dixerunt scribæ et Pharisæi discipulis: quare cum publicanis et peccatoribus manducat magister vester?
(Where Levi the publican made Him a feast and the scribes and Pharisees said to the disciples: Why does your master eat with publicans and sinners?)

56: 1
And Levi made him a great feast in his own house:
2
And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for they were many, who also followed him.
3
And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing that he ate with publicans and sinners, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
4
Jesus hearing this, saith to them: They that are well have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. Go and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the just, but sinners to penance.
