The Apostles Series: Matthew

Wrote one of the 4 Gospels - GOSPEL of MATTHEW


Surname was Levi, son of Alpheus, & a publican (tax collector) - And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, ...he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom,
Luke 5:27/Mark 2:14


Possibly a man of some wealth - And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.
Luke 5:29


Thought to have been martyred in Ethiopia
