A Tax Collector Changes

We often create lines of who is worthy to be welcomed by Jesus and who is not. we think surely a murderer and a fraudster cannot be saved perhaps a philanthropist. What we see here is that the tax collectors 'Levi' who were disliked for financially enslaving/impoverishing their own people are welcomed by Jesus. this is not a great look for Jesus and the Pharisees are appalled by his mercy.
