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 to day.

27 And after these things he went forth , and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.

28 And he left all, rose up , and followed him.

29 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.

30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying , Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
