Luke
Luke 5:32ESV·traditional attribution
I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”
Matthew Henry Presbyterian
Christ's choice to call Levi from the tax booth is a wonder of grace, not merely that He admitted fishermen, but that He admitted publicans, men of notorious ill fame. No heart is too hard for His Spirit to work upon, and He keeps company with the unconverted so that He might heal their souls, which is the very design of His coming.

John Gill Reformed Baptist
The self-righteous scribes and Pharisees, trusting in themselves, rejected His call; but sinners He brings to repentance by His grace. He came not for those who think themselves already whole, but for those who know their disease.
