The question, Who were those who followed Jesus and those who follow him now? - Is something that you have to see with your own eyes.

Previously, those who followed Jesus were great sinners and recognized himself as such, they wanted to change his life and it succeeded because Jesus was with them.,people of all social classes, rich and poor, educated and not educated, but once converted, there were no differences between them, that is, none was considered better than the other, or with more hierarchy. there was no "bosses" - Jesus is the only Lord.

The next reading stresses, whom were follower to Jesus, so we can understand that between them had not privileges, even they came from different social classes.
