He might have been Jewish.
Nowhere are we told what Matthew's religion was, although as a Jew in Palestine in those days, he probably followed the religion of the Jews. But, being a tax collector also made him both a traitor and an outcast, which may have made it difficult for him to practice this.

Did any of the authors of the Bible ever actually meet Jesus?
The authors of the Bible, specifically the New Testament, were early Christian disciples and followers of Jesus, such as Matthew, John, Peter, and Paul. Some of them, like Matthew and John, were among the original twelve apostles who directly interacted with Jesus during his ministry on earth. Others, like Paul, encountered Jesus through visions or revelations after his resurrection. Therefore, while not all authors physically met Jesus during his earthly life, they had direct or indirect experiences with him that influenced their writings in the Bible.
Where in the Bible is the trial of Jesus before the Sanhedrin?
A:The trial of Jesus before the Sanhedrin is in the synoptic gospels: Matthew 26:57-66, Mark 14:53-64, Luke 22:66-71. In Matthew and Mark, the trial takes place soon after Jesus is arrested at midnight, but in Luke the priests wait until daybreak, since the Sanhedrin would never have met during hours of darkness to try Jesus. John's Gospel does not have a trial before the Sanhedrin, but has Jesus taken first to the house of Annas, father-in-law to the high priest, who interrogated him alone. Then Jesus was taken to the house of the high priest, Caiaphas, who again interviewed Jesus alone.

Here, Judas betrayed Jesus, who was arrested and taken before the Sanhedrin court then before the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, because the Sanhedrin could not pass a sentence of death. In Luke's Gospel, Pilate sent Jesus to Herod Antipas for sentencing, which Herod refused to do, leaving Pilate to pass sentence.In John's Gospel, the event that triggered the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus was the resurrection of Lazarus, with the pharisees and the priests saying that the whole world is following Jesus.
