Disciple Matthew Minifigure

Meet Matthew, the tax collector who left everything behind to follow Jesus. In Matthew 9:9–13, we read the powerful moment when “Jesus saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. ‘Follow me,’ He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.” With just two words — “Follow me” — Matthew’s life was completely transformed.

Once known for collecting taxes, Matthew became one of Jesus’ twelve disciples and later the author of the Gospel of Matthew, which shares the Good News and teachings of Christ with clarity and compassion. His name is also mentioned in the Talmud (Sanhedrin 43a), reminding us of his lasting impact and the reach of his testimony. Matthew’s story shows how Jesus can call anyone — no matter their past — into a new life of purpose and faith.

Each Matthew minifigure starts as a genuine LEGO® minifigure and is professionally printed with our custom-designed face and body to reflect his unique calling and story. It’s durable, detailed, and perfect for bringing Bible stories to life through creative play and learning.

Add Matthew to your Word Bricks collection and celebrate the story of transformation and faith that begins when we choose to follow Jesus.
