Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Gospel According to Saint Matthew With an Explanatory and Critical Commentary Lange explains Matthew, according to this etymology, as meaning "God´s free man," in contrast with Levi, or "the servant of the law"; but, thus derived, the name signifies "a mortal man," or "a full-grown man," rather than "a free man." The first reference to the Saint is found in Mt. ix. 9: "And when Jesus passed on from thence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he rose up and followed him." The reader of the parallel passages, Mk. ii. 14 and Lk. v. 27, will be struck by the difference of names; for the Matthew of the first gospel becomes Levi in the second and third. Must we identify Levi with Matthew, or must we regard them as two distinct persons? Grotius [Comment, in Matt. ix. 9, Basil. 1732, ii. p. 100], Grimm [Uber den Namen Matthaus, Studien und Kritiken, 1870, pp. 726 ff.], Reuss [History of the Sacred Scriptures of the New Test., transl. from the fifth Germ. ed. Boston, 1884, i. p. 185], and others distinguish between Levi and Matthew for the following reasons: 1. Matthew never calls himself Levi, and Levi is never called Matthew by the other evangelists. 2. Heracleon, the disciple of Valentinus, writing in the second century, distinguishes between Matthew and Levi, and is followed in this distinction by Clement of Alexandria [Strom. iv. 9] and Origen [contr. Cels. i. 62]. 3. Both Matthew and Levi are names of Hebrew origin. Now, though an Israelite might have a second name of Greek or Latin derivation, he never had two Hebrew names, unless one of them was a patronymic, or a family name, or expressed something wholly characteristic of the bearer. The gospel records, therefore, the call of two publicans, most probably the revenue-farmer Levi and his underling Matthew.
