Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 5:27

"And after these things he went forth, and beheld a publican, named Levi, sitting at the place of toll, and said unto him, Follow me." — Luke 5:27 (ASV)

A publican, named Levi.—See Notes on Matthew 9:9-13, Mark 2:14–17. St. Luke’s agreement with St. Mark is again a noticeable fact.
