How many times did Jesus break bread with sinners? Why is Jesus sitting with sinners or interacting with them? Jesus also feed the sinners many times, but feed them what?

Matthew 9

10 And as Jesus[b] reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples.11 And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

Luke 7:34
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'

Mark 2:13-17

15 While He was reclining at the table in Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were also guests[a] with Jesus and His disciples, because there were many who were following Him. 16 When the scribes of the Pharisees[b] saw that He was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they asked His disciples, “Why does He eat[c] with tax collectors and sinners?”

How are you supposed to reach sinners if you dont sit and interact with them? I mean this is like the most basic way to plant a seed of someone finding Christ...

What did he feed them? Well probably food. I mean it clearly mentions bread and fish, but there was probably some beef, maybe some lamb. Im not to sure what the diest consisted of in that day.

Jesus feed them also the spiritual food of the Word of Holy Scriptures, the people were broken because the religious folks though the common man or man of the earth were unlearned, unclean, impure and unrighteousness. Jesus is about love from the heart. Great answers everyone! Be Bless with love, peace and joy!
