The feast with publicans and sinners , and Christ ' s apology. Parallel passages: Mark 2:15-17 ; Luke 5:29-32 .

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 9:10-13

Jesus the Friend of sinners. The incident here recorded follows on the call of Matthew the publican. Our Lord had just appointed a member of an order usually regarded as hopelessly reprobate to be one of his apostles. It was natural that the publican's old associates should recognize this breaking down of old barriers, and flock to the feast which Matthew provided to welcome and honour his new Friend. I. THE FACT . Jesus did eat and drink with men of questionable occupation, and even... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 9:11

And when the Pharisees. Mentioned thus far only in Matthew 3:7 and Matthew 5:20 . This is, therefore, the first time that Matthew speaks of them as coming into direct contact with Jesus. Although Mark (cf. Luke) says that the objection was raised by those among the Pharisees who were also scribes ( οἱγραμματεῖς τῶν φαρισαίων ), yet the difference of expression from that in verse 3 must not be overlooked. There the fact that they were scribes, accustomed to weigh the statements... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 9:11

Our Lord's chosen associates. "Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?" The speakers were Pharisees; they were not guests, they were only watchers. Such feasts are very open and free, and persons are allowed to come in, and even to take part in the conversation, who do not share in the food. An Eastern traveller says, "In the room where we were received, besides the divan on which we sat, there were seats all round the walls. Many came in and took their place on those side-seats,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 9:11

Why eateth and drinketh ... - To eat and drink with others denotes intimacy and familiarity. The Pharisees, by asking this question, accused him of seeking the society of such people, and of being the companion of the wicked. The inference which they would draw was, that he could not be himself righteous, since he delighted in the company of abandoned people. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 9:9-13

32. Call of Matthew (Matthew 9:9-13; Mark 2:13-17; Luke 5:27-32)The next person to join Jesus’ group of chosen disciples was the tax collector Matthew, also known as Levi (Matthew 9:9; Mark 2:13-14). Matthew took Jesus home for a meal and invited his fellow tax collectors and other friends to come and meet his new master. Jews despised tax collectors as being unpatriotic, dishonest and irreligious. The Pharisees despised Jesus when they saw him eating with them (Matthew 9:10-11; Luke... read more

Matthew 9:11-13. And when the Pharisees saw it— See on Matthew 9:9. Instead of whole, we may read well. The Pharisees did not indeed direct their discourse to Jesus; but having spoken so loud as to let all the guests hear their censure, he could not avoid meekly puttingthem in mind, that it is sick people only who have need of a physician; to insinuate, that since the Pharisees thought themselves righteous persons, they had no need of his company: whereas the publicans, whom they called... read more
