The name Matthew is traditionally associated with one of the New Testament gospels, but this association is not important to biblical scholars, as they realise that the gospel was originally anonymous and could not really have been written by the disciple whose name it now bears.
There is little of interest in the gospels about Matthew. Perhaps the only point of interest is how the Gospel of Matthew associated the name Levi with Matthew, perhaps to avoid the appearance that Levi was called (Mark 2:14) but afterwards did not follow Jesus..

Is there evidence outside the Bible that proves Matthew was a historical person?
In the early first century, Matthew was never mentioned by anyone outside the gospels, and the gospel that bears his name was written anonymously and only attributed to Matthew later in the second century. So, the existence of the gospel is not evidence for the historicity of Matthew and there is no other extra-biblical evidence for him.
