John 13:34-35 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called John. John was one of the friends and helpers of Jesus. Jesus and His friends were having dinner one night when Jesus said, "I’m going to tell you a brand new rule to follow." Do you want to know what it is? Jesus said, "The most important thing you can do is to love others the way I have loved you." Wow! Jesus said that if we want to follow Him, the number one thing we can do is to love others!

And in this town, there was a man named Matthew. Matthew was a tax collector. That means his job was to collect money for the town from everyone.
