hello children
hello holy is it time for you to tell us another story
about one of jesus deciples yes thats right
so who are we going to here about today
today i am going to tell you the story of mathew
he also had another name
another name ooh yes it was also called lewy mmm
that sounds interesting alright then lets begin with the story
Mathew was the son of alpheus and he lived in capernum
and his name ment the gift of god
the call of Mathew to the band of jesus deciples
is of great importance. Mathews other name was lenon
which was probably given my jesus when he became a deciple
mathew was a tax collector out of public
he was engaged in public service work and gathered the taxes which people hate
however at that time the jews hate the tax gatherers
because they believed it was the right of the people to pay taxes
as a tribute only to god. who was able to break the law
the jews hate the tax gatherers not only for this religious reasons
but also because they where very unjust and fair towards them
the jews saw these tax collectors just as criminals
mathew was one of them like any other tax collector he would asses tax for other people
and also lend them money and charge high rates of interst
from them still jesus chose him from all hated men
made him one of his own being the master he saw the potential
tax collector of capernum
Mathew was different from all the deciples of jesus
who where mostly fishermen
he know how to write and with the power of the pen he brought to the world the teachings of Jesus
in Hebrew language the apostolic symbol of mathew was 3 money bags
which hep us to remember he was a tax collector
before jesus called him
that was quite an interesting story holy
so it is because of Mathew we know more about jesus mmm i see
i hope you children like the story
ooh yes we did i am glad
we are off for today untill next time Bye Bye
