Luke 5:28

Luke 5:28

26 And they were all amazed, and they ^aglorified God and were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today!”

Matthew the Tax Collector

27 ^aAfter these things He went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, ^b“Follow Me.”

28 So he left all, rose up, and ^afollowed Him.

29 ^aThen Levi gave Him a great feast in his own house. And ^bthere were a great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with them.

30 ¹And their scribes and the Pharisees complained against His disciples, saying, ^a“Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

<< Luke 5:27

Luke 5:29 >>

And he left all - - completely abandoning his office, and every thing connected with it. He who wishes to preach the Gospel, like the disciples of Christ, must have no earthly entanglement. If he have, his whole labor will be marred by it. The concerns of his own soul, and those of the multitudes to whom he preaches, are sufficient to engross all his attention, and to employ all his powers.
