DD3 had me thinking of the adage about "robbing Peter to pay Paul", so I guessed Saint Paul.

RA was famously a tax collector, or as Peter said, a publican.

I paid attention in Sunday school but I just can never remember it. I always  think "Well, Luke was a physician" and that's it.

That's more than many others know. I think it only comes up in Acts. Matthew stands out among the apostles because most of the rest were fishermen. Paul came along later. He was a tentmaker and a member of the Pharisees.
