Tax collectors were widely looked down on in Jesus' day. But here, he is described as happily eating and talking to them. Jesus turned nobody away who sought him out, not even those most tainted by sin or rejected by the rest of society.

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.”
- 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
