"MANY TAX COLLECTORS AND SINNERS WHO WERE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS WERE EATING WITH HIM AND HIS DISCIPLES." ( CHRISTIANS HAVE TO DECIDE IF THEY ARE WITH JESUS...); "PHARISEES SAW HIM EATING WITH SINNERS AND TAX COLLECTORS, THEY ASKED HIS DISCIPLES, 'WHY DOES HE EAT WITH TAX COLLECTORS AND SINNERS?'" (...OR WITH THEM.)
