Matthew, also known as Levi, was one of the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus to follow him during his ministry on earth. Prior to his call, Matthew worked as a tax collector in Capernaum, a job considered by many to be corrupt and dishonest. According to the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus saw Matthew sitting in his tax booth and said to him, "Follow me." Matthew immediately left his job and became a disciple of Jesus. He is traditionally credited with authoring the Gospel of Matthew, one of the four Gospels in the New Testament.
