Gospel Reading
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.”

1 Corinthians 15:58-16:3
⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. ¹ Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise. ² On the first day of the week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come. ³ When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.
