The title "Gospel According to Matthew" is not part of the body of the text of the Gospel of Matthew itself. This text refers to Matthew by name only in 9:9 and 10:3.

It has been widely held for centuries that the Gospel of Matthew was written by Matthew, the tax-collector turned apostle. On what evidence/authority is this claim supported?


Inspired by this related but distinct question
