Mark 2:14
Levi - The same as Matthew; he appears to have been a Jew, though employed in the odious office of a tax-gatherer. For an account of his call, see his Gospel, Matthew 9:9, etc.
12 Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and aglorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
Matthew the Tax Collector
13 aThen He went out again by the sea; and all the multitude came to Him, and He taught them.
14 aAs He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, b“Follow Me.” So he arose and cfollowed Him.
15 aNow it happened, as He was dining in Levi’s house, that many tax collectors and sinners also sat together with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many, and they followed Him.
16 And when the scribes1 and Pharisees saw Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to His disciples, “How is it that He eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”
