Jesus Calls Levi

After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth. And he said to him, “Follow me.”

Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus

And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.

To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”

When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
