Luke 5:27

First Nations Version

After this he taught again by the lakeshore. As he walked by, he saw a tribal tax collector sitting at his tax booth. Tribal tax collectors were often Tribal Members who were given the right to collect taxes for the People of Iron (Romans). They could force their own people, under the threat of violence, to pay them. To make a living, they would take more than the People of Iron (Romans) required. But many of them became greedy and took even more than they were permitted. They were hated and looked down on by the people. The name of this tribal tax collector was He Brings Together (Levi). Creator Sets Free (Jesus) went to him and said, “Come, walk the road with me.”
