Jesus and Matthew stood up from the rock. On top of the rock was a blanket. On top of the blanket was Matthew's writing tools. Matthew had brought along an inkpot, styluses and several writing tablets. 

Jesus pointed down toward the campsite. " Look down there Matthew".

" Where the campsite?".

" Yes". Jesus smiled. " My disciples are leaving in pairs".

" Hopefully they will get along".

" They will". Jesus grinned. " I'm sending them out to spread the news".

Matthew turned toward the rock. " Shall we get back to work?".

" Yes". Jesus sat down on the rock. " How many sections have we done so far?".

" 19".

Jesus thought for a moment. " We could have 20 or shorten it to 18".

" Teacher, I hope my writing is ok".

" It's a manifesto Matthew". Jesus smiled again. " I'm here to start a revolution".

The End.
