Disciple Matthew, a former tax collector, is invited to work with Peter,
James, and John in Jerusalem. He dreams of preaching and performing
miracles like his fellow apostles, but he finds his dreams postponed
because of a request from Yeshua's mother. Well aware of the passing
years, Mary asks Matthew to help her record the stories of Yeshua while
the eyewitnesses are still alive. Reluctantly, he agrees, though the
longer he and Mary work together, the more difficult their task becomes.
Not only are they pressured by opposition from friends and foes alike,
but Gaius Caesar, better known as Caligula, is determined to raise a
statue of himself in the Holy Temple, even if it means killing every man
in Israel. As Matthew works to save his people, Mary encourages him to
come to terms with issues from his past. When they finally near the
completion of their project, Matthew realizes that the job he
reluctantly accepted might be his God-given destiny.
