And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.

But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.

And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.

And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,

This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.

And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

But wisdom is justified of all her children.

But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
