Of course Jesus would agree with Paul. He appeared to Him to change his heart personally! He repented of his Christ killing ways and became an ex-Pharisee. He later went on to author around half of the New Testament.

...So, should we permanently shun you because you judge? ...Since, you know, those are permanently shunned according to dear Paul...

12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
Paul is telling us to actively judge people within the church.

Do the unsaved sit at my table?
Reread this verse again.
10Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
Paul is saying that it would be impossible to shun them all or you couldn't leave the house.
