隨後，他在家設宴款待耶穌，赴宴的人中有許多稅吏和其他人。法利賽人和律法教師就向耶穌的門徒抱怨說：「你們為什麼跟稅吏和罪人一起吃喝呢？」耶穌答道：「健康的人不需要醫生，有病的人才需要。我來不是要召義人悔改，乃是召罪人悔改。」

耶穌在馬太家裡坐席的時候，很多稅吏和罪人前來跟耶穌和祂的門徒一起坐席。法利賽人看見了，就質問耶穌的門徒：「你們的老師為何跟稅吏和罪人一起吃飯？」耶穌聽見後，答道：「健康的人不需要醫生，有病的人才需要。聖經上說，『我喜愛憐憫之心，而非祭物』，你們去揣摩這句話的意思吧。我來不是要召義人，乃是要召罪人。」

倘若惡人離惡行義，他必救回自己的性命。

耶穌又說：「你們怎樣看這件事？某人有兩個兒子。他對大兒子說，『孩子，你今天到葡萄園工作吧！』「大兒子回答說，『我不去！』但後來他改變了主意，就去了。「那父親又對小兒子說，『你今天到葡萄園工作吧！』小兒子回答說，『好的，父親。』他答應了，卻沒有去。「你們認為這兩個兒子，到底哪一個服從父親呢？」他們回答道：「大兒子。」耶穌說：「我實在告訴你們，稅吏和娼妓要比你們先進上帝的國。

眾百姓和稅吏聽了這番話，都承認上帝是公義的，因為他們接受了約翰的洗禮。

律法是後來頒佈的，使過犯更多地顯出來，只是哪裡的罪越多，哪裡的恩典就顯得越豐富。

看啊，有些殿後的將要為首，有些為首的將要殿後。」
