Jesus Calls Matthew The Tax Collector And Eats With His Friends. I Came For Sinners
9 And while Jesus was passing on from there, He saw a man sitting at the tax-office, being called Matthew. And He says to him, “Be following Me!” And having stood up, he followed Him. 10 And it came about while He was reclining-back [to eat] in the[a] house that behold— many tax-collectors and sinners[b], having come, were reclining-back-with Jesus and His disciples. 11 And having seen it, the Pharisees were saying to His disciples, “For what reason is your Teacher eating with the tax-collectors and sinners?”
