The name of Matthew signifies one who is given. He gave himself when, at the word of Jesus “follow me,” he rose up and followed him; but far greater was the gift he received from God in return.
Yeye alijitoa mwenyewe wakati, kwa neno la Yesu “”nifuate,”” naye akaondoka na kumfuata; lakini mbali zaidi ilikuwa ni zawadi alipokea kutoka kwa Mungu katika kurudi.
