Papias' reasoning in attributing the gospel to the disciple Matthew seems to have been based on the unique treatment of Matthew in this gospel. Mark's Gospel refers to Levi, son of Alphaeus, as a tax collector whom Jesus called to follow him (Mark 2:14). However, for some reason, Mark never again refers to Levi, but introduces other disciples including Matthew and James, son of Alphaeus, as disciples in the full list of the twelve disciples (verses 3:14-19). Disciples are not meant to change their minds when called by Jesus to follow him, and the author of Matthew resolves this by not mentioning Levi and by having Matthew as the disciple who was a tax collector. As a tax collector, Matthew would have been literate and therefore a candidate to be a gospel author.
The evidence is conclusive that Matthew was not really the author of the gospel that now bears his name.

A:No, the apostle Matthew did not write any of the New Testament gospels. The four gospels were originally anonymous and were only attributed to the apostles whose names they now bear, later in the second century. Thus we only have the opinions of the Church Fathers as to who any of the authors were. Seeing a literary dependency among the synoptic gospels, they believed that Matthew, the disciple of Jesus, wrote the first gospel and that the gospels they attributed to Mark and Luke were based on copying and improving Matthew's Gospel. In fact, scholars now say that none of the gospels could have been written by an eyewitness to the events they portray.Scholars can demonstrate that Mark's Gospel was actually the earliest gospel and that Matthew's Gospel was largely based on it, with some 90 per cent of the verses in Mark, as well as containing further sayings material from the hypothetical 'Q' document. Clearly, a disciple of Jesus would not have needed to base almost his entire gospel on these prior sources. Matthew did not write the Gospel of Matthew.
