1. Matthew 9:10 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

Where did the dinner with the tax collectors and sinners take place?

Matthew 9:10 (ESV)

10 And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples.

Matthew 9:10 does not stipulate where the evening meal with the tax collectors and sinners took place. Luke 5:29 clearly indicates the place as the house of Matthew himself. This was also not just some meal, but a genuine feast (Luke 5:29).1

The location of the dinner with the tax collectors and sinners is not mentioned in Matthew 9:10, but Luke 5:29 says that it was a great feast in Matthew’s own house.
