Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 7:36

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

This was no small Civility from a Pharisee, for the Pharisees were of all others in the Generality of them, the most desperate, and implacable Enemies of our Saviour. But God hath his number amongst all Nations, and all sorts and orders of Men. Our Saviour as was said before, was of a free, and open Converse, and never refused any opportunity offered him to do good. We may soberly Eat, and Drink with Sinners pursuing such Designs.
