Mark 2:12-14

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹² And he arose at once and picked up the sleeping pad or mat and went out before them all, so that they were all amazed and ^[a] recognized and praised and thanked God, saying, We have never seen anything like this before!

¹³ [Jesus] went out again along the seashore; and all the multitude kept gathering about Him, and He kept teaching them.

¹⁴ And as He was passing by, He saw Levi (Matthew) son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and He said to him, Follow Me! [Be ^[b]joined to Me as a disciple, side with My party!] And he arose and joined Him as His disciple and sided with His party and accompanied Him.
