  ²⁰Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.

  ²¹In the law it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. They won’t even hear me that way, says the Lord.”

  ²²Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.

  ²³If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won’t they say that you are crazy?

  ²⁴But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.

  ²⁵And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.

  ²⁷After these things he went out, and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me!”

  ²⁸He left everything, and rose up and followed him.

  ²⁹Levi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a great crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.

  ³⁰Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”

  ³¹Jesus answered them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

  ³²I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
