St. Matthew was originally a tax collector during the time of the Roman Empire. Jewish tax collectors were considered destructive betrayers of their country and religion by their peers. Speaking with a tax collector was considered a sin, and associating with one was defilement.When Matthew first heard the voice of Jesus Christ, he left everything and followed the Savior. The Pharisees asked why Jesus ate with sinners and tax collectors. But the Lord had “come to call not the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Mt. 9:13). Matthew acknowledged his sins, repaid anyone he had cheated, and gave his remaining possessions
St. Peter was born in Bethsaida in Galilee. He was a fisherman and the brother of Andrew. He was called to be the fisher of men and was named “Cephas” by Jesus Christ, which means rock. In all lists of the Twelve, he is named first. Peter’s confession of faith was soon followed by a sharp rebuke from the Lord. Peter said that he would never leave his Lord, and then later as predicted, he denied Jesus three times. Peter later made amends for his triple denial by a triple protestation of love.
