Matthew 9:10

Free Bible Version

While Jesus was eating at Matthew's home, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down at the table with Jesus and his disciples.

See the chapter Copy

When the Pharisees saw this they asked Jesus' disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

As Jesus moved on from there he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth. Jesus called to him, “Follow me!” He got up, and followed Jesus.

We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but he does listen to anyone who worships him and does what he wants.
