Strong's King James
As He passed, He saw Levi Ben-Halfai sitting in the tax booth, and He says to him, "Follow me." Getting up, he followed Him.
The F.O.G*
[14] Passing by the tax collector's booth, He saw Levi, son of Alphaeus, sitting there—a man despised by his community for collaborating with Rome. Jesus looked at him and said simply, "Follow Me." Amazingly, Levi stood up, leaving his lucrative position behind to follow Jesus.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and passing by, he saw Levi of Alpheus sitting at the tax-office, and saith to him, ‘Be following me,’ and he, having risen, did follow him.
