Listen "Matthew 9.2 The Call of Matthew"
Episode Synopsis
Jesus calls Matthew, a tax collector to be one of the twelve. Jesus then sits down and dines with the other tax collectors and "sinners." The Pharisees are scandalized by this and attempt to divide the disciples from Jesus. This again displays their malice. Jesus quotes the prophet Hosea to them in an attempt to move them from their self righteousness. Matthew in his humility, does not hide that he was a tax collector, considered a traitor to the Jewish people. Jesus calls fishermen and tax collectors as disciples. What solice can we gain from this.
