28 And leaving all things, he 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 all were astonished: and they glorified God. And they were filled with fear, saying: We have seen wonderful 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 to him: Follow me.

28 And leaving all things, he 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 were at table with them.

30 But the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying to his disciples: Why do you eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
