And it came to pass, that Iesus sat at meat in his house. And lo, many publicans and sinners, came and sat down also with Iesus, and his disciples.
¶ When the pharises had perceived that, they said unto his disciples: why eateth your master with publicans and sinners?
¶ And as Iesus passed forth from thence he saw a man sit at the receit of custom named Matthew, and said to him: follow me. And he arose and followed him.
We know well enough that God heareth no sinners: But if any man be a worshipper of God: and do what his will is, him heareth he.
