Enter Levi (Matthew)
27 After these things He went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office; and He said to him, "Follow me!" 28 So leaving everything he got up and followed Him.Wow! Evidently he really did, turning his responsibilities over to his colleagues. Because tax collectors were ostracized by the people, they probably wanted to join the crowds following Jesus, but felt excluded. So a direct invitation to Matthew was all he wanted.
