Mt 9:9-13
As Jesus passed by,
he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the customs post.
He said to him, “Follow me.”
And he got up and followed him.
While he was at table in his house,
many tax collectors and sinners came
and sat with Jesus and his disciples.
The Pharisees saw this and said to his disciples,
“Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
He heard this and said,
“Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do.
Go and learn the meaning of the words,
I desire mercy, not sacrifice.
I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.”

A question to go along with that...
Why do you preach to those who know me already, when those are out there that have never heard my name before, and need me more than ever?

Are the sick the tax collectors and the sinners in this question?

What did Jesus do that made Matthew get up from his post and follow Jesus just because Jesus said, "Follow Me?"
There was something about Jesus that no one else had. Every person obeyed His commands if He wanted them to.
