Matthew was a tax collector, this is literally expert advice, not just one of those religious metaphors.
- dredmorbius 1y agoThat's not an interpretation I've encountered before. Any credible sources or references you'd care to provide? (Not about Matthew's occupation but the meaning/interpretation of the verse.)
- Viliam1234 1y agoI just made it up. Also, Matthew is supposed to quote Jesus rather than give his own advice, and Jesus was not a tax collector.
