7 And he arose and departed to his house.
8 Now when the multitudes saw it, they amarveled and glorified God, who had given such power to men.
Matthew the Tax Collector
9 aAs Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.” So he arose and followed Him.
10 aNow it happened, as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with atax collectors and bsinners?”
