Context of Luke 5:26

24But I want you to know this. I, the Son of Man, have authority here on earth. I can forgive people for the wrong things that they have done.’ Then he said to the man who could not walk, ‘I am saying to you, “Stand up. Pick up your mat and go home!” ’ 25Immediately, the man stood up in front of them all. He picked up the mat that he had been lying on. He went home. He was praising God as he went. What had happened surprised everyone. They said, ‘God is great and powerful! We have seen very strange and special things happen today.’ 27After this happened, Jesus went away from that house. He saw a man that took taxes from people. He was working in his office. His name was Levi. Jesus said to him, ‘Come with me and be my disciple.’ 28So Levi got up and he went with Jesus. He left everything behind.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 26Strange things - , paradoxes. A paradox is something that appears false and absurd, but is not really so: or, something contrary to the commonly received opinion.
