Context of Mark 2:12
10But so that you may know that the Son of Man has the authority and power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralyzed man, 11“I say to you, get up, pick up your mat and go home.” And he got up and immediately picked up the mat and went out before them all, so that they all were astonished and they glorified and praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!” 13Jesus went out again along the [Galilean] seashore; and all the people were coming to Him, and He was teaching them. 14As He was passing by, He saw Levi (Matthew) the son of Alphaeus sitting in the tax collector’s booth, and He said to him, “Follow Me [as My disciple, accepting Me as your Master and Teacher and walking the same path of life that I walk].” And he got up and followed Him [becoming His disciple, believing and trusting in Him and following His example].
