New Testament
Mattityahu
Matthew / Levi
b. 1 AD
A tax collector called by Jesus from his tax booth with the words ‘Follow me,’ after which he rose and followed (Matthew 9:9). The same account names him Levi, the son of Alphaeus (Mark 2:14; Luke 5:27-28), and records that he held a great feast for Jesus with tax collectors and sinners. His birth and death are not recorded; the bar reflects an estimate.
