5.27 Levi. BEDA. Idem Levi qui et Matthæus. Sed Lucas, etc., usque ad de telonario in evangelistam sit mutatus. BEDA, AMBR. Reliquit propria, qui rapiebat aliena. Nec solum lucra reliquit vectigalium, sed et periculum contemnit, quod poterat venire a principibus sæculi, quia rationes vectigalium incompositas reliquerit. Et quia in nullo prorsus hujus vitæ respectum vel cogitationem sibi reservavit, dominicorum talentorum fidelis dispensator esse meruit. BEDA. Per Matthæi electionem, fides gentium, quæ prius mundanis inhiabant, sed nunc corpus Christi sedula devotione reficiunt, exprimitur. Per superbiam Pharisæorum insinuatur Judæorum invidia, quæ de gentium salute torquetur.
