# Connecting Statement:
When Jesus leaves the house, he calls Levi, the Jewish tax collector, to follow him.
# After these things happened
The phrase "these things" refers to what happened in the previous verses. This signals a new event. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-newevent]])
# saw a tax collector
"looked at a tax collector with attention" or "looked carefully at a tax collector"
# Follow me
To "follow" someone is to become that person's disciple. Alternate translation: "Be my disciple" or "Come, follow me as your teacher" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
