EasyEnglish Bible

Jesus asks Levi to come with him

²⁷ 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.’ ²⁸ So Levi got up and he went with Jesus. He left everything behind.

²⁹ 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.
