And it came to pass, as he was reclining in the house, that 1o! many tax-collectors and sinners, came, and were reclining together with Jesus and his disciples.
And Jesus, passing aside from thence, saw a man presiding over the tax-office, called, Matthew, and saith unto him,—Be following me. And, arising, he followed him.
The Son of Man, came, eating and drinking, and they say, Lo! a gluttonous man and a wine-drinker! a friend of, tax-collectors, and sinners! And yet wisdom hath been justified by her works.
