25 Et, à l’instant, il se leva en leur présence, prit le lit sur lequel il était couché, et s’en alla dans sa maison, glorifiant Dieu.
26 Tous étaient dans l’étonnement, et glorifiaient Dieu; remplis de crainte, ils disaient: Nous avons vu aujourd’hui des choses étranges.
27 Après cela, Jésus sortit, et il vit un publicain, nommé Lévi, assis au lieu des péages. Il lui dit: Suis-moi.
28 Et, laissant tout, il se leva, et le suivit.
29 Lévi lui donna un grand festin dans sa maison, et beaucoup de publicains et d’autres personnes étaient à table avec eux.
