[Answer] Which of the disciples was a tax collector by profession?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which of the disciples was a tax collector by profession?"

...Levi, also known as Matthew, was a tax collector or a publican by profession. He was also considered the author of the Book of Matthew. As a tax collector, he was hated by his peers because he worked for the Roman occupiers to cheat and collect exorbitant taxes from his Jewish brothers and sisters. His occupation was synonymous with being a sinner. Yet, Jesus walked up to him at his tax booth and invited him to “follow me.” Levi immediately rose and left everything behind. Jesus went to Levi’s house and enjoyed a great feast. After eating, Jesus and the large company of tax collectors and others reclined, as was customary. The Pharisees watched, immensely irritated with Jesus. “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” they asked. And Jesus answered them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” (Luke 5:30-32) Jesus’s revolutionary way placed him in the presence of those others rejected.
