St Matthew was, according to The Bible, one of the twelve Apostles of Jesus. He was a first century Galilean (presumably born in Galilee, which was not part of Judea or the Roman Iudaea province) and the son of Alpheus. Before following Christ, he was a tax collector working in Capernaum. After witnessing Jesus' resurrection and ascension, the Bible says Matthew preached the Gospel in Hebrew to the Jewish community in Judea for 15 years. He is credited with authoring the Gospel bearing his name. However, there is some debate as to whether he actually was the author or others wrote it based on his preaching.
