Matthew 9:7-9

7And he got up and went home [healed and forgiven].

8When the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and glorified God and praised Him, who had given such authority and power to men.

9As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew (Levi) 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 Matthew got up and followed Him.
