Some folks think reading the Bible and/or the Internal Revenue ... It is fascinating that Luke (a doctor) and Matthew (a tax collector) were disciples who experienced the compassion of Jesus ...
this set of disciplinary regulations from Matthew 18, is that when you kick them out, when you excommunicate them or disfellowship them, you say, "you now are a gentile and a tax collector." ...
Matthew was a tax collector called to ministry by Jesus ... Judas Iscariot is best known as the man who betrayed Jesus Christ. The bible records Judas as the treasurer for Jesus’ ministry ...
Matthew and Luke depend on Mark ... and what that means is that events and details that are found in the Hebrew Bible are seen as types pointing ahead to the coming of Jesus.
