Concept:This question tests recognition of Jesus’ direct call to Levi, the tax collector, at the place of his work.
Explanation:Jesus was passing by the tax office when He saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting there collecting taxes.
At that moment, Jesus did not give a long sermon or a condition for discipleship.
He simply commanded Levi with a short, personal call.
The exact words Jesus spoke were,
“Follow me.”This call required immediate action and total commitment.
Levi responded by getting up, leaving his tax booth, and following Jesus.
Option A, “Take your pallet and walk,” was spoken to a paralyzed man, not to Levi.
Option C, “Rise up,” was used in contexts of healing or raising the dead, but not as the call to Levi.
Option D, “I will make you a fisher of men,” was addressed to Simon Peter and Andrew.
Therefore, the correct statement made to Levi is the simple invitation, “Follow me.”
Answer:B. Follow me
