Later Jesus was baptized and then he was tempted by Satan to do the wrong things. He then fasted for 40days to build his strength against Satan. Jesus became stronger and went to Galilee. In Galilee he told his apostles to go and teach on, “adultery, divorce, giving, prayer, judging, worry, treasures in Heaven and warnings to people.” Matthew and the other 11 apostles were the followers of Jesus during his humanly travel across Jerusalem. When Matthew had come to Jesus he was a Jewish tax collector. Nonetheless, he chose to leave his profession and follow Jesus Christ.

In (Matthew21:1) it talks about how the triumphal entry by Jesus into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey and ends in the trial and crucifixion of Jesus on the cross as a sacrifice for all the sin in the world.…
