Matthew is the name of a New Testament book and one of the twelve disciples. Matthew means a gift from the Lord.
- Matthew is the 40th book of the Bible, and it is the first book of the New Testament and the first book of the four gospels. It consists of 28 chapters and 1071 verses, and it records the life of Jesus from conception to a few days after the resurrection.
- Matthew was one of the 12 disciples of Jesus that later became an apostle. His job description was a tax collector before becoming a disciple. Tax collectors were not well received during the ministry of Jesus, and Matthew authored the book that bears his name. Many believe Matthew is the same individual that's called Levi in the book of Mark. Perhaps another form of Matthew's name is Matthias because their meanings are identical; a gift from the Lord.
