And we are right in being struck with this. But perhaps the point which led the Evan- gelists to preserve this narrative was not the call of the toll- gatherer so much as the banquet which followed it, and the second conflict with the hierarchy which took place at the banquet. That is the connexion between the cure of the paralytic and the call of Matthew\ Jesus is once more brought into collision with the Pharisees and the Scribes. Except in the lists of the Apostles, Matthew is not mentioned ...again by the Evangelists. Matthew's instantaneous response to the call to be a disciple proves two things : that our Lord knew his character, and that Matthew already knew something of Christ's teaching. Mk. Tells us that Jesus had been teaching by the side of the sea just before the call of Levi ; and Matthew may have been among the many toll-gatherers w^ho had listened to the Baptist, and had been told not to exact more than they had a right to. Matthew probably collected tolls for Herod Antipas, much of whose income came from this source of revenue.
