He was classed with the grossest sinners. Yet Jesus chose "Matthew the pub- lican" as one of his twelve apostles. There was a class of fierce patriots zealots they were called who advocated armed resist- THE CALLING OF THE DISCIPLES 109 ance to the Roman government. They would pay no taxes and were consequently outlaws, and whenever possible they emerged from their mountain or desert fastnesses and raised the standard of revolt. The power of Rome crushed these rebellions with merciless severity..., but fanaticism is not easily subdued, and new leaders soon arose and gathered new bands. It is significant and interesting that Jesus was not repelled by this type of mind. He did not distrust the zealot as he did the Scribe and the Pharisee. Zeal, however mis- directed, is a good quality. Every virtue may be grafted upon its vigorous stem, and so, though Jesus saw how impracticable these zealots were in their resistance to Rome, yet he saw also their indomitable love of truth and justice, and looked on them, I imagine, with pitying admiration.
