It happened as he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Yeshua and his talmidim.
When the Perushim saw it, they said to his talmidim, *Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?*
As Yeshua passed by from there, he saw a man called Mattityahu sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, *Follow me.* He got up and followed him.
We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.
