Matthew 9:9-13

(Leader) As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.

(Congregation) And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples.

(Leader) And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

(Congregation) But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

(Leader) Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Psalm 4

(Leader) Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have given me relief when I was in distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer! O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame? How long will you love vain words and seek after lies?

(Congregation) But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself; the Lord hears when I call to him.

(Leader) Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the Lord. There are many who say, “Who will show us some good? Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!”

(Congregation) You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound. In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
