28 So he left all, rose up, and followed Him.

Luke 5:28 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 5:28

And he left all
His company, his business, and all the profits of it:

rose up;
directly; such power went along with the words of Christ, that he could not withstand it:

and followed him;
not only in a literal, but in a spiritual sense, and became a disciple of his.

Luke 5:28 In-Context

26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen strange things today!"

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 he left all, rose up, and followed Him.

29 Then Levi gave Him a great feast in his own house. And there were a great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with them.

30 And their scribes and the Pharisees complained against His disciples, saying, "Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"
