And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at table in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
And as Jesus was passing from thence, he saw a man named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith to him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man is a worshiper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
