Matthew, likewise called St. Matthew the Evangelist, St. Matthew the Apostle, or Levi, "thrived first century CE, Palestine; Western blowout day September 21, Eastern gala day November 16", one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ and the conventional creator of the main Synoptic Gospel "the Gospel According to Matthew".
As indicated by Matthew 9:9 and Mark 2:14, Matthew was perched by the traditions house in Capernaum "close to present day Almagor, Israel, on the Sea of Galilee" when Jesus called him into his organization. Accepting that the ID of Matthew with Levi is right, Matthew "presumably signifying "Yahweh's Gift"- would have all the earmarks of being the Christian name of Levi -called by Mark "Levi the child of Alphaeus", who had been utilized as an assessment authority in the assistance of Herod Antipas, tetrarch of Galilee. Since Levi's occupation was one that acquired doubt and scorn all over, the copyists of the Pharisees scrutinized Jesus on seeing him eat with charge authorities and heathens, whereupon Jesus replied, "I came not to call the honest, but rather delinquents" -Mark 2:15-17). As per Luke 5:29, the previously mentioned supper was given by Levi in his home after his call.
Other than naming Matthew in the rundown of Apostles, as a rule matching him with St. Thomas, the New Testament offers meager and unsure data about him. Outside the New Testament, an assertion of significance about him is the entry from the Apostolic Father Papias of Hierapolis saved by Bishop Eusebius of Caesarea: "So then, at that point, Matthew made the Oracles in the Hebrew language, and every one deciphered them as he could." The Gospel According to Matthew was absolutely composed for a Jewish-Christian church in an unequivocally Jewish climate, however that this Matthew is certainly the Synoptic creator is genuinely questioned. Custom notes his service in Judaea, after which he evidently missioned toward the East, recommending Ethiopia and Persia. Legend contrasts concerning the location of his missions and regarding whether he kicked the bucket a characteristic passing or a saint's. Matthew's relics were supposedly found in Salerno (Italy) in 1080. His image is a heavenly messenger, and he is a benefactor holy person of assessment authorities and bookkeepers.
