Saint Mathew The Evangelist
S1 E11:
Saint Mathew worked as a tax collector before he met Jesus. During Jesus' time, taxes were collected by people called Publicans. They did this job for the Roman rulers. Matthew was one among them and all the Israelites hated these Publicans. But when he met Jesus, he turned a new leaf at the call of his master. He abandoned all the money at the tax booth and started following Jesus!
