Luke 5:27 In-Context

25 Without a moment's hesitation, he did it - got up, took his blanket, and left for home, giving glory to God all the way.
26 The people rubbed their eyes, incredulous - and then also gave glory to God. Awestruck, they said, "We've never seen anything like that!"
27 After this he went out and saw a man named Levi at his work collecting taxes. Jesus said, "Come along with me."
28 And he did - walked away from everything and went with him.
29 Levi gave a large dinner at his home for Jesus. Everybody was there, tax men and other disreputable characters as guests at the dinner.
