EXCUSE ME, WHAT WAS YOUR NAME

EXCUSE ME, WHAT WAS YOUR NAME?

Mark 1: (KJV)

14 “And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.”

Compare to

Matthew 9: (KJV)

9 “And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.”

Reading what follows each quote above makes it certainly clear that the two authors, Mark and Matthew, are describing the same event.

“Mark” says “Levi” was the guy while “Matthew” says “Matthew.”

A little known fact: the Gospel “Mark” was originally titled “Levi,” but later Christians changed the title to “Mark” because they thought “Levi” sounded “too Jewish”.
