Through the echoing narrative, Matthew was arguing for Jesus as Moses' successor. Says The Birth of Christianity's Crossan: "One of the things Matthew's going to do later in his Gospel is have Jesus...

Says Sarah Teslik, former chief of the Council of Institutional Investors, who invited Krishnamurthy to address her members last year: "Unlike most CEOs, who come with entourages, fly in their own planes and, in general, act royal, we discovered--via the hotel's rooming list--that he had booked the cheapest single in the hotel, right beside the kitchen." --By Julie Rawe
