Why did Jesus choose Matthew, a known taxgatherer and a despised man, to be His disciple?

its` a sign of Hope and Love. Not only Jesus came to heal all the sick, however serious the sikness is - and which truly committed doctor would deny healing? - but the sick one cannot only gain health but also become a bringer of that health to others.

The Calling of Matthew

As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, "Follow me." He got up and followed him. It happened as he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
When Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do. But you go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
