Dec 2, 2014 · Mark's Gospel mentions both Matthew and Levi separately, referring to Levi, son of Alphaeus as a tax collector whom Jesus called to follow him (Mark 2:14). Mark never again refers to Levi, who is not mentioned in the full list of the twelve disciples (Mark 3:14-19), where Mark introduces other disciples including Matthew, Thaddaeus and James, son of Alphaeus.

Virtually everything we really know about Matthew comes directly from the gospels. He’s mentioned in all three Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke), and listed among the disciples in Acts. But that’s it. Including parallel passages, there are just seven mentions of him in the entire Bible. Only one (and its parallels) gives us any substantial...
In order to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, Matthew obviously would’ve had to live at the same time. Most scholars believe Jesus lived from sometime around 4 BC to around 30 or 33 AD. Since we don’t know how old he was at the time he met Jesus, we can’t be certain he was born in the first century, but he certainly lived then. The date of his death i...
As with most of the apostles, it’s hard to say exactly how Matthew died. There are several conflicting accounts about his death. The earliest records say he carried out his ministry in “Ethiopia” (not what we consider Ethiopia, but a region south of the Caspian Sea), Persia, Macedonia, and/or Syria. Clement of Alexandria quotes Heracleon, one of th...
The Gospel of Matthew’s author is anonymous, but Matthew the Apostle is traditionally considered the author. The early church claimed he wrote it, and the attribution “according to Matthew” was added possibly as early as the second century. While there are credible arguments against his authorship, no alternative writer has been named. The earliest...
In the first few centuries of the church, countless legends sprouted about the apostles—so many that it essentially became its own genre. Many of these legendary accounts were pseudepigrapha—meaning they falsely claimed to be written by a well-known Christian—and included miraculous events and Gnostic teachings. Some of these accounts appeared to b...
When it comes to the Apostle Matthew, there’s not much to go on. But what we do have—the gospels—shows us that Matthew was one of Jesus’ most powerful examples of the forgiveness God offers everyone. This tax collector was reviled for who he was, but Jesus loved him for who he was. And despite his position as a religious outsider, Jesus gave him a ...
Dec 2, 2008 · Levi: Luke 5:27, “And after that He went out, and noticed a tax-gatherer named Levi, sitting in the tax office, and He said to him, ‘Follow Me.’ “. The answer is very simple. Both are true because Matthew and Levi are two names for the same person. Matthew is the Greek name and Levi was the Hebrew name. As a tax collector, Matthew ...

Apr 1, 2023 · The Curious Case of Matthew and Levi. Benjamin. Apr 01, 2023. 2. 5. Share. In his book Jesus and the Eyewitnesses, Richard Bauckham surprisingly argues that the difference between Matthew on the one hand, and Mark and Luke on the other, over the name of the apostle “Matthew” (Matt. 9:9-13) or “Levi” (Lk. 5:27-32, Mk. 2:13-17) is an ...
