Charles Spurgeon Commentary Mark 2:14

"And as he passed by, he saw Levi the [son] of Alphaeus sitting at the place of toll, and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him." — Mark 2:14 (ASV)

And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

Swept up his shekels—gathered up his account books—delayed no longer. He rose from his tax collecting to follow the Master.

Oh! for just such a word tonight to some here present. Follow me.

And I pray to God that there would be such a heart in them as there was in this man named Levi, also called Matthew, so that they also may come and follow Jesus.
