He arose, and immediately took up the mat and went out in front of them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”
He went out again by the seaside.
All the multitude came to him, and he taught them.
As he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office.
He said to him, “Follow me.”
And he arose and followed him.
He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.
