NT Bible Study 58: Jesus calls Matthew to follow Him (Beginning of Jesus' Galilean Ministry part 18)

This is a comparative Bible study on the events surrounding the beginning of Jesus' Galilean ministry. This 18th Bible study discusses publicans and Jesus calling the Apostle Matthew (or Levi) to Himself (Matthew 9:8-13; Mark 2:12-17; Luke 5:26-32). It also compares verses discussing how people reacted to Jesus healing a man with palsy in Capernaum (Matthew 9:1-8; Mark 2:1-12; Luke 5:17-26). Other verses referenced during this Bible study are: Matthew 4:18, John 1:42, Matthew 10:3, Matthew 5:46-47, Matthew 21:31-32, Luke 3:12-13, Luke 19:2, Luke 19:8). Overall, this is our 58th New Testament (NT) Bible study. I'm a layperson, hoping to witness things I believe I've learned through Bible study, and would like to share this information as a friend would with a friend.
