This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
29. ἐποίησεν δοχὴν μεγάλην. This shews that Matthew had something to sacrifice when he “left all.” Δοχὴ literally means ‘reception.’ It only occurs again in Luk 14:13.

ἦν. ‘Was present.’ Comp. Luk 5:17.

ὄχλος πολὺς τελωνῶν. Comp. Luk 15:1. The tax-gatherers in their deep, and not wholly undeserved unpopularity, would be naturally touched by the countenance and kindness of the Sinless One.

ἦσαν … κατακείμενοι. ‘Were reclining’ (at table).
