Matthew 音標拼音: [m'æθju] n. 馬太,馬太福音 馬太,馬太福音 Matthew n 1: ( New Testament) disciple of Jesus; traditionally considered to be the author of the first Gospel [ synonym: { Matthew}, { Saint Matthew}, { St. Matthew}, { Saint Matthew the Apostle}, { St. Matthew the Apostle}, { Levi}] 2: one of the Gospels in the New Testament; includes the Sermon on the Mount [ synonym: { Matthew}, { Gospel According to Matthew}] Matthew \ Matthew\ prop. n. Saint Matthew, a disciple of Jesus; author of the first Gospel. Syn: Saint Matthew, St. Matthew, Saint Matthew the Apostle, Levi. [ WordNet 1. 5] Matthew gift of God, a common Jewish name after the Exile. He was the son of Alphaeus, and was a publican or tax- gatherer at Capernaum. On one occasion Jesus, coming up from the side of the lake, passed the custom- house where Matthew was seated, and said to him, " Follow me." Matthew arose and followed him, and became his disciple ( Matt. 9: 9). Formerly the name by which he was known was Levi ( Mark 2: 14; Luke 5: 27); he now changed it, possibly in grateful memory of his call, to Matthew. The same day on which Jesus called him he made a " great feast" ( Luke 5: 29), a farewell feast, to which he invited Jesus and his disciples, and probably also many of old associates. He was afterwards selected as one of the twelve ( 6: 15). His name does not occur again in the Gospel history except in the lists of the apostles. The last notice of him is in Acts 1: 13. The time and manner of his death are unknown.
