Saint Matthew Matthew, Christ’s disciple who wrote the first Gospel of the New Testament in 64 C.E., was a tax collector in the profession and a Galileo in origin. Jesus chose him as his disciple and he immediately responded to his call and followed him. He abandoned his profession and offered his home to Christ. The Pharisees who even saw Jesus at a tax collector’s house accused him of hanging out with a sinner. Yet he responded to them that he came to earth to invite those who wanted to repent and be saved to him. Matthew preached the words of Christ and the Gospel in many areas and Ethiopia, where he martyred and left earthly life.
