How far does Jesus go to call sinners to him?

Mark 2:15 (ESV)

15 And as he reclined at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.

Jesus eats a meal at Levi’s house—a sign of communion! At that meal, not only his disciples, but also many tax collectors and sinners are present! Jesus accepts the sinners and deals with them confidentially.
