In Luke 5:17-32, Jesus demonstrates His power and mercy through two significant acts. First, He heals a paralyzed man brought to Him by friends, proving His authority to forgive sins when He commands the man to walk. Then, He calls Levi (Matthew), a tax collector, to follow Him, dining with sinners and outcasts, which provokes criticism from the Pharisees for associating with such people. Jesus responds, emphasizing His mission to call not the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
