Gospel, Matthew 9:9-13

⁹ As Jesus was walking on from there he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, 'Follow me.' And he got up and followed him.

¹⁰ Now while he was at table in the house it happened that a number of tax collectors and sinners came to sit at the table with Jesus and his disciples.

¹¹ When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, 'Why does your master eat with tax collectors and sinners?'

¹² When he heard this he replied, 'It is not the healthy who need the doctor, but the sick.

¹³ Go and learn the meaning of the words: Mercy is what pleases me, not sacrifice. And indeed I came to call not the upright, but sinners.'

Reading 2, Romans 4:18-25

¹⁸ Though there seemed no hope, he hoped and believed that he was to become father of many nations in fulfilment of the promise: Just so will your descendants be.

¹⁹ Even the thought that his body was as good as dead -- he was about a hundred years old -- and that Sarah's womb was dead too did not shake his faith.

²⁰ Counting on the promise of God, he did not doubt or disbelieve, but drew strength from faith and gave glory to God,

²¹ fully convinced that whatever God promised he has the power to perform.

²² This is the faith that was reckoned to him as uprightness.

²³ And the word 'reckoned' in scripture applies not only to him;

²⁴ it is there for our sake too -- our faith, too, will be 'reckoned'

²⁵ because we believe in him who raised from the dead our Lord Jesus who was handed over to death for our sins and raised to life for our justification.
