Saint Matthew, also known as Levi, was a tax collector before Jesus called him to be one of the twelve apostles. He is the traditional author of the first Gospel, which particularly emphasizes Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. His Gospel begins with the genealogy of Christ and includes the Sermon on the Mount.
