Luke 5:25-29

Immediately, the man stood up in front of them all. He picked up the mat that he had been lying on. He went home. He was praising God as he went.

What had happened surprised everyone. They said, ‘God is great and powerful! We have seen very strange and special things happen today.’

After this happened, Jesus went away from that house. He saw a man that took taxes from people. He was working in his office. His name was Levi. Jesus said to him, ‘Come with me and be my disciple.’

So Levi got up and he went with Jesus. He left everything behind.

Soon after this, Levi made a large meal for Jesus at his house. Many people also came and they were eating with them there. Some of them took taxes from people, as Levi did.
