St. Matthew wrote the first Gospel. He was a tax collector when Jesus called him to “follow me”. He immediately arose and followed Him. Matthew prepared a meal for Jesus and His apostles. The Pharisees were indignant. Jesus said, “I didn’t come to call the just but to call sinners.” As an apostle, Matthew preached far and wide. It is thought that he died in Parthia.
