The biography of the Apostle Matvey

Quotes the story of the character Mikhail Afanasevich Bulgakov in the work “Master and Margarita” affected many important things for a modern person, having a plot in a mystical narrative. In the described action, real and mythological characters, prototypes and heroes that never existed are weaved. The acting face of the novel was the apostle Levi Matvey, repeatedly mentioned in the Bible.

He lived in the city of Capernaum on the coast of the Galilee Sea and served as an web, a collector of taxes. Supply was paid by residents of the land conquered by the Roman Empire, replenishing the treasury. The publican hated for their activities. In this position, they had to oppress the people, and the publican enjoyed their official position, denying mercy and showing cruelty.

Levia Matvey managed to get a good condition thanks to the status, but he did not lose human appearance and remained faithful to the people. Levi Matvey Hero was witnesses of sermons and miraculous deeds of Christ, who lived for some time in his city. Jesus saw how the listener relates to his affairs, and appreciated the readiness of the man to follow his covenants.

Once he took Levia to the sea, where he received to serve from arriving ships, and offered to become his follower. Matvey laid the table in the house and invited guests, among whom were the taxi and ordinary sinners. Sharing a meal with them, Christ gave a chance to confession. The apostle left the acquired property and followed Jesus. Soon he was ranked to twelve accompanying Jesus Christ.

In addition to the acts of the teacher, Levi Matvey witnessed his arrest, death and ascension. After the final event, he, among other disciples, carried the teachings of the Lord to people. The man wrote the Gospel, which became the first in the list of manuscripts of the apostles. The book passed the teachings to the Palestinians in Hebrew. Praying for people to accept the true faith, he carried it to the pagans and atheists.

Jesus and the twelve apostles are known about the miracle created by him after a meeting with the Lord. Levi Matvey stuck a rod in the ground at the temple. A fruit-bearing tree grew at this place, and a source scored from under it. Everyone who drank water here became kind and meek, gaining faith. The legend is connected with the ruler of Fulvian and his family. The apostle instructed them on the path of the true one, despite the disbelief and desire to kill Levia Matvey.

God was on the side of the disciple and helped, sending darkness on the warriors, which did not allow a man to custody. Trying to grab the Apostle, Fulvian blinded, and Levi saved him. Having decided that the apostle of the sorcerer, and not the Lord Messenger, the ruler ordered him to burn him. The flame of the prepared bonfire did not hurt the apostle, who was constantly praying.

The power of God was confirmed by the fiery snake, formed from the fire and attacked Fulvian. Praying, he recognized the power of the Lord. Levi forgave him and died. The New Testament Biblical Tales provide minimal information about Levia Matvey. The only relevant information is that the man was an publican. This is confirmed by the gospels from Matvey himself, from Luke and Mark. The gospel written by him tells about a meeting with Jesus.

Many taxes and sinners considered Jesus their friend and teacher. In the Gospel of Mark, there is a small story about him, and Luke describes the calling of the hero in his creation. Based on the words of other apostles, some scientists suggest that Levi Alfeev is a real name of the Prophet, and Matvey is a nickname deciphering as “God's gift”. This version was always disputed by opponents of the idea, for example, the writer of the 4th century BC.

Didim a blind man. The New Testament mentions Matvey and Matfiy, so many regard this as a transcription of the name. The biographies of men coincided, so this fact can be perceived as a literary mistake. The Christian tradition constantly confuses Matvey and Matthia, therefore, in various editions of the same text, the name of the hero is used according to the author of the author.

A striking example is the work of “Acts of Andrei and Matthia”. In accordance with legend, Matvey wrote the Gospel in Aramaic, considered the oldest. In the narrative of Bulgakov, Jeshua tells Pontius Pilat about the former fundus and his work. Yeshua almost betrays Levia, although he is afraid of him. He directs the guards on the right path.

The characteristic of Matvey from the mouth of Yeshua represents the apostle as a person acting contrary to the law. In his opinion, the man threw public money, not his own. Yeshua is also sure that Matvey’s notes are not true. Yeshua tells everything about Levia, substituting him under attack. He characterizes the evangelists as people who incorrectly recorded thoughts about what is happening.

He does not respond to Levia Matvey positively and calls him exclusively a companion, but not a student. This forms the attitude of Pilate to the hero. He does not tell the arrest of the Apostle, but does not trust him with the status of a student of Yeshua. In his eyes, Levi lost mercy. Yeshua and Pontius Pilate the master was sure that Levi did not see the interrogation of Yeshua, but watched only the execution.

Levi wanted to stop the suffering of the teacher and considered the murder the only possible way for this.Levi Matvey in a fit of anger curses God, because he is sure that the true Lord would not allow the death of such a person as Yeshua. The hero is sure that his purpose consists in the murder of Yeshua and in the release of that from the torment. Calling other gods, abandoning his own Lord, he demonstrated the lack of faith.

The New Testament says that the man got a knife from the guards to protect the teacher. In the understanding of the master in Levia’s actions there is no divine fishing, and he wants to become the liberator of the martyr from understandable human motives. Levi Matvey and Woland in the series "Master and Margarita" during the blasphemy of the apostle begins a thunderstorm, predicted by Yeshua, and she brings death.

The executioner throws a spear into the heart of the Son of God. Mystical way, Levia's desires are embodied. He hatches the idea of ​​the death of Judah. Murder is carried out by the hands of Afrah with the permission of Pontius Pilate. The film adaptation of the novel "Master and Margarita" was repeatedly filmed. The first tape, shot by Andgea Weida in the year, was called "Pilate and others." The action was transferred to the 20th century and the heroes looked modern.

Daniel Olbrysky played the role of Levia Matvey in the film. Daniel Olbrysky in the image of Levia Matvey in the ribbon of Alexander Petrovich of the same year of release, there were no biblical motifs, only the events that occurred in Moscow in the thirties of the twentieth century were described. The character Levi Matvey was absent in the picture. The next film on the plot of the novel was the Polish project of Matsya Voitishko.

The film was rich in acting. The author of the project was Vladimir Bortko. Quotes in the book by Levi Matvey acts as an assistant Christ. He comes to the monastery of Woland with the words: "I am to you, the spirit of evil and the lord of the shadows." This becomes an additional confirmation of the fact that Satan appears before the audience. Levi Matvey is an illustration for the book "Master and Margarita" The Messenger asks to give peace to the master and Margarita.

Susing to the heroes, he claims that they will only gain peace in hell. In paradise for the author of Roman about Pontius Pilate there is no place. To the question of Woland about why the master cannot be published, Levi replies: "He did not deserve the light, he earned peace." Paradise in this perception does not imply peace for a person who sinned, but his merit in the form of a written novel should receive a reward.

And this reward will be peace.
