And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
Mientras Jesús caminaba, vio a Leví, el hijo de Alfeo, sentado en su puesto de cobrador de impuestos. Jesús lo miró directamente y le dijo: 'Sígueme.' Y así nomás, Leví se levantó y lo siguió.
Jesús llamó a Leví a seguirlo, y él respondió inmediatamente dejando todo atrás.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first century AD, tax collectors like Levi were often viewed as traitors by the Jewish people because they worked for the Roman Empire, collecting taxes and sometimes exploiting their own communities for personal gain. Jesus was actively traveling through Galilee, calling individuals from various backgrounds to become his disciples, which demonstrated his inclusive approach to building his ministry. This event occurs early in Mark's Gospel, illustrating Jesus' authority and his willingness to associate with societal outcasts.
