And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.
28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
29 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.
Ver. 29. And Levi made him a great feast] Epulum splendidum, a sumptuous feast; so St Luke's word δοχην here signifieth. But when St Matthew himself speaks of it, he saith only that Christ came home and ate bread with him: to teach us, saith one, that another man's mouth should praise us, and not our own,Proverbs 27:2. See Trapp on " Pro 27:2 "
