| Summary: | Levi’s call (Luke 5,27-28) has attracted little scholarly comment. The initial response of the toll collector is described by use of two participles, καταλιπών and ἀναστάς. The unusual choice and arrangement of the participles call for an explanation. The verb καταλείπω occurs extensively in the bequeathing formula associated with a testator’s death in documentary wills and also alongside accounts of death in ancient literature. The verb ἀνίστημι is commonly used to speak of the resurrection in Luke-Acts. The sequence of the two participles suggests that Levi’s response to Jesus involves participation in Jesus’ death and resurrection. |
