Profile

St Matthew was, according to the Bible, one of the twelve Apostles of Jesus. Before following Christ, he was a tax collector working in Capernaum. After witnessing Jesus' resurrection and ascension, the Bible says Matthew preached the Gospel in Hebrew to the Jewish community in Judea for 15 years. Scholars seriously doubt that Matthew actually wrote the Book of Matthew, one of the four gospels.
