Jesus Calls Levi^(A)

¹³ Jesus went back again to the shore of Lake Galilee. A crowd came to him, and he started teaching them. ¹⁴ As he walked along, he saw a tax collector, Levi son of Alphaeus, sitting in his office. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.” Levi got up and followed him.

¹⁵ Later on Jesus was having a meal in Levi's house.^[a] A large number of tax collectors and other outcasts was following Jesus, and many of them joined him and his disciples at the table.
