Plot

Matthew, one of the twelve disciples (a former tax collector in Capernaum) returns to Capernaum to begin writing the book about Jesus, which is now called "The Gospel According to Saint Matthew." Matthew's lifelong friend, Jairus, who is anxious to help Matthew gather eyewitness accounts of the deeds of Jesus, makes a feast in his honor and invites guests from far and near, guests whose lives were affected by the Prophet from
Nazareth. Each guest offers his story about the Christ as possible material for Matthew's chronicle. During the feast Matthew has his scribe take notes as each story-like event unfolds.
