The gospel story suggests that Matthew, the disciple of Jesus, was a Jew.
The Gospel of Matthew was originally anonymous and was only attributed by the Church Fathers to the disciple Matthew later in the second century. It is now known that there is no good reason for that attribution, and scholars say that the author could not have been an eyewitness to the events that the Gospel portrays. Thus, the author of Matthew's Gospel could not have been the disciple Matthew.
Matthew was written in Greek, and for Old Testament references its author used the Septuagint, an ealry Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures, so there is no reason to believe that he knew the Hebrew language. His limited understanding of Jewish culture and religious customs strongly suggests that he was not a Jew.
Matthew the gospel author probably came from a region in in ancient Near East, perhaps modern-day Syria, Jordan or Turkey. He is likely to have been Semitic, and would have spoken Greek as his everyday language.
