Jesus went to have dinner at Matthew’s house, and many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples.
We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will.
As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at a tax collection booth. “Follow me,” Jesus told him. So Matthew got up and followed him.
When the Pharisees saw this, they asked the disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
