Matthew the Apostle

Matthew sat at his tax booth — a despised profession — when Jesus simply said, “Follow me,” and he rose and left everything. He then threw a feast where Jesus dined with tax collectors and sinners.

When the religious leaders objected, Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick” — a defining word about why he came.

Matthew wrote the Gospel that bears his name, carefully showing Jesus as the promised Messiah of Israel.
