So my understanding of the time frames and players in the New Testament isn't all that great. Some might say - lacking.
.
But now I know the source of, at least some of, my bad information.
.
The musical Jesus Christ, Superstar. Joe and I went to see it tonight - and there is line that TOTALLY explains why I thought Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were apostles.
.
At the last supper, the apostles sing:
.
Always hoped that I'ld be an apostle.
Knew that I could make it if I tried.
Then we retired, we could write the Gospel
And they will all talk about me when I die.
.
So it is all Tim Rice's fault! Glad we settled that.

About the show. It was okay. To be honest, Jesus and Mary's voices weren't great. And - as a character - Jesus doesn't have much of a story arc. Just saying.
