Mark 2: 13-17 - 'You must shine in the sight of men.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 574 (in 'Jesus and Israel') - Because of certain of his acts— expelling demons, forgiving sins, healing on the sabbath day, his novel interpretation of the precepts of the Law regarding purity, and his familiarity with tax collectors and public sinners—some ill-intentioned persons suspected Jesus of demonic possession (abbreviated)

- 545 (in 'The Proclamation of the Kingdom of God') - Jesus invites sinners to the table of the kingdom: “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” He invites them to that conversion without which one cannot enter the kingdom, but shows them in word and deed his Father’s boundless mercy for them and the vast “joy in heaven over one sinner who repents" (abbreviated)

- 1484 (in 'The Celebration of the Sacrament of Penance') - Christ is at work in each of the sacraments. He personally addresses every sinner: “My son, your sins are forgiven.” He is the physician tending each one of the sick who need him to cure them (abbreviated)

- 1503 (in 'Christ the Physician') - Christ’s compassion toward the sick and his many healings of every kind of infirmity are a resplendent sign that “God has visited his people” and that the Kingdom of God is close at hand. Jesus has the power not only to heal, but also to forgive sins; he has come to heal the whole man, soul and body; he is the physician the sick have need of (abbreviated)

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back to the Logical Bible Study podcast, where we're providing an exegesis of the gospel from today's Mass.
0:20.4	So we want to have a look at what was the original author trying to convey to his audience.
0:25.2	And then go from there.
0:27.0	So we're continuing our exploration of the Gospel of Mark.
0:30.1	And today we're looking at Chapter 2 verses 13 to 17.
0:36.1	Jesus went out to the shore of the lake. And all the people came to him, and he taught them.
0:42.9	As he was walking, he saw Levi, the son of Alpheus, sitting by the customs house, and he said
0:50.4	to him, follow me, and he got up and followed him.
0:55.9	When Jesus was at dinner in his house, a number of tax collectors and sinners were also
1:01.8	sitting at the table with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many of them among his followers.
1:09.0	When the scribes of the Pharisee party saw him eating with sinners and tax collectors,
1:14.3	they said to his disciples, why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?
1:20.5	When Jesus heard this, he said to them,
1:24.0	It is not the healthy who need the doctor, but the sick.
1:27.9	I did not come to call the virtuous, but sinners.
1:36.2	So the setting here in verse 13, he's still in Copernan, which is his hometown.
1:41.0	So at this point, his ministry is basically all just operating out of Copernum,
1:45.4	his little town on the lake side, the Sea of Galilee, and the surrounding towns.
1:50.2	He hasn't gone to Judea or Jerusalem yet.
1:54.0	So he walks out onto the lake, and if you can go to Copernum today, it's literally right on the lake,
1:59.0	so he doesn't have to walk far.
2:02.0	But it is a wide open space. There's kind of like a little beach shore area there, and he could
