After this Jesus went out and saw a tax collector {\cf2\super [97]} sitting at his place for collecting taxes. His name was Levi. Jesus said to him, “Follow me!”
Then Jesus said to his followers, “If any person wants to follow me, he must say ‘No’ to the things he wants. That person must accept the cross (suffering) that is given to him, and he must follow me.
When Jesus heard this, he said to the leader, “But there is still one more thing you need to do. Sell everything you have and give the money to the poor people. You will have a reward in heaven. Then come and follow me!”
