Luke
Luke 5:28KJV·traditional attribution
And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
Matthew Henry Presbyterian
Christ's choice to call Levi from the tax booth is a wonder of grace, not merely that He admitted fishermen, but that He admitted publicans, men of notorious ill fame. No heart is too hard for His Spirit to work upon, and He keeps company with the unconverted so that He might heal their souls, which is the very design of His coming.

John Gill Reformed Baptist
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.
