²⁷ Then Peter answered, "Behold, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?"

⁸ Yes most assuredly, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

²⁹ But he answered his father, 'Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.

⁷ For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn't receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

²⁹ that no flesh should boast before God.

²⁸ Peter said, "Look, we have left everything, and followed you."

³³ So therefore whoever of you who doesn't renounce all that he has, he can't be my disciple.

²⁷ After these things he went out, and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, "Follow me!"

²⁸ He left everything, and rose up and followed him.

¹¹ When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.

²⁸ Peter began to tell him, "Behold, we have left all, and have followed you."

¹⁴ As he passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he arose and followed him.

¹⁷ Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men."

¹⁸ Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.

¹⁹ Going on a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.

²⁰ Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.

¹⁰ When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius.

¹¹ When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,

¹² saying, 'These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!'

⁹ As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, "Follow me." He got up and followed him.

²⁰ They immediately left their nets and followed him.

²¹ Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them.

²² They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.

⁹ Who said of his father, and of his mother, I have not seen him; Neither did he acknowledge his brothers, Nor knew he his own children: For they have observed your word, Keep your covenant.
