Origin, Meaning, And History Of Mat
The name Mat owes its popularity to the religious figure named Saint Matthew or Matthew the Apostle. Matthew, in turn, comes from the Greek word Matthaios which ultimately originated from the Hebrew title Mattityahu referring to the gift of Yahweh.
He is described in the New Testament as one of the revered twelve apostles of Jesus who was an ardent disciple and a follower who witnessed the Ascension of Jesus.
The Gospel of Matthew, one of the three synoptic Gospels and the opening book of the New Testament narrates the anticipated coming of Jesus as the Messiah of Israel. It portrays his reception by the people of Israel, who ultimately reject him, and continues to depict the events following his resurrection.
Matthew wants to clarify that the Jewish tradition shouldn’t be forgotten in a church leaning more toward the gentile. The gospel portrays the struggles and ideological disputes between the evangelist’s community and the other Jews.
