Apostles: Matthew: The Tax Collector
From: NewsTrove.com
"Matthew or Levi as he was called here, was a tax collector for the Roman occupational government. No Jewish parent ever wanted their child to grow up to be a tax collector for Rome. By adopting the profession he not only aroused the ill-will of his fellow countryman, but he no doubt broke the heart of his godly parents. Although Levi means "joined" is a reference to his being a part of the tribe set apart to the worship and service of God. But Levi became not a priest but a publican, to the heartbreak of his parents.
The Romans collected their taxes through a system called "tax farming."
