Matthew: A Tax Collector Among the Twelve
A guided reading of Matthew 9 and the parallels in Mark and Luke
Twelve scenes about a tax collector summoned from his booth, a dinner that makes mercy visible, the unresolved relationship between Matthew and Levi, and the ancient tradition that gave Matthew's name to a Gospel whose text never identifies its author.
This journey is read in full inside Hesed.
