He found passages that suited his purposes, and which he believed would be accepted as genuine references to Jesus, in the Book of Isaiah.
What does the symbol of Saint Matthew mean?
The angelic human symbol of Matthew indicates his compassion and empathy for mankind.

(The four symbols - of the four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, are a Human/Angel, Lion, Ox and Eagle, respectively. These very symbols are mentioned in the Old Testament Book of Ezekiel. There are many connections which the New Testament writings make to Old Testament prophecies. Some say this is a fulfillment of the prophecies. Other scholars say that New Testament scholars retroactively fit their stories to seem as if Old Testament prophecies were being fulfilled. It is up to the reader to draw his/her own conclusions.)
