Matthu at the Cruxifiction

One of the most grabbing chapters of this book, for me, was Chapter 18. Matthu's turmoil was saddening, and his desire to end his beloved friend suffering before it could truly begin spoke to me. I, perhaps, would try and do the same for someone I loved if it meant keeping them from a long, tormented death. And then, when the time came, and Yeshua passed, and the world grew dark, and the storm came, Matthu still never left his beloved friend and mentor, for he leapt upon that cross to rescue Yeshua's body from the storm, and was washed away with it. While not the biblical telling of the day, it is still believable that one of Jesus' followers loved him so much to at least have thought of doing what Matthu wanted to do and did.
