Matthew 9:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ And when Jesus passed on from hence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.

¹⁰ And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.

¹¹ And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?
