Then Jesus proclaims what John Dominic Crossan calls the principle of «open commensality»: invite everybody, all the nobodies;
transgress class boundaries; don't lower your standards, have none.
To working -
class parents, it is the overt act that matters: the child should not
transgress externally imposed rules; to middle -
class parents, it is the child's motive and feelings that matter: the child should govern himself.»
