Matthew the Apostle - Ex-Tax Collector, Gospel Writer

Matthew: Turned Profit

Long ere breaths a chalice dawn, eternal trials beleaguered gone, test the wayward course yon distant clinks, bespoken image seized his past governed weights in tallied journals that time possess and nonesuch empty force where quills and parchment favor bags clang-freed. Light gusts midst a low mountain scroll past fish and bread, the first author writes his new creed, "God is Emmanuel" with us, endorse, "Jesus is God's Messiah" ... crowds, Jewish profit taxes, Prophet souls ... source.
