JESUS CALLA A MAN, LEVI

Luke 5:27-39

Key Verse: 5:27

1. Who was the second disciple Jesus called? How were tax collectors regarded? (Lk 5:30; Mk 2:15) Why might a man become a tax collector? In what respect was he selfish (Jas 1:15)

 

2. What did Jesus say to Levi? How was Jesus’ view of Levi different from others? How could Jesus have hope for such a selfish man? Read verse 27 again. What did it mean to Jesus to invite Levi to “Follow me”? (Rev 3:20)

 

 

3. How did Levi respond? (28-30) What did the banquet reveal about his changed life? Why did the Pharisees complain to Jesus’ disciples? (31-32; Ro 3:23) How did Jesus answer? What does it mean to repent?

 

4. Read 5:33-35. Why did the disciples of the Pharisees criticize Jesus’ disciples? Why did Jesus compare himself to the bridegroom? And why cannot the disciples fast or weep while they are with the bridegroom?

 

5. Read 5:36-39. Why cannot an old patch be put to a new garment? Why cannot new wine be put into old wineskins? What does it mean “new wine must be poured into new wineskins” to you?
