Bible Question (short): Why Matthew is "introduced" late... |
Question (full): In the Book of Matthew, Matthew is not introduced as a disciple until chapter 9:9. I know the Bible is not written chrnologically, but how does Matthew know about the previous 9 chapters he has written about, without being a disciple of Christ? I am not arguing that he doesn't know, or anything like that, just wondering why his discipleship is introduced so late. |
