Clarke's Mark 2:14 Bible Commentary
Levi - The same as Matthew; he appears to have been a Jew, though employed in the odious office of a tax-gatherer. For an account of his call, see his Gospel, Matthew 9:9, etc.
Barnes's Mark 2:14 Bible Commentary
Levi, the son of Alpheus - The same, undoubtedly, as "Matthew," the writer of the gospel which bears his name. It was not uncommon among the Jews to have two names.
The receipt of custom - See the notes at Matthew 9:9.
Wesley's Mark 2:14 Bible Commentary
2:14 Matthew 9:9 ; Lu 5:27.
