Matthew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, is traditionally believed to have been a Jewish tax collector, not Greek. He is often associated with the audience of his Gospel, which is thought to have been written for a Jewish-Christian community. However, the early Christian context in which he lived would have involved interactions with Greek culture and language, given the Hellenistic influence in the region. Ultimately, his identity is rooted in his Jewish heritage.
