Matthew the Apostle, also known as Saint Matthew, is recognized in the New Testament as one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. He is traditionally believed to be the author of the Gospel of Matthew, serving as one of the four Evangelists. While modern biblical scholars question his authorship, historical records indicate that Matthew followed Jesus as a disciple. Church Fathers like Irenaeus and Clement of Alexandria suggest that Matthew spread the gospel in Judea before embarking on missionary work in other regions.
