Matthew's Humble Reminder
Multiple commentators (Spurgeon, Gill, Aquinas) highlight Matthew's humility. He is the only Gospel writer to identify himself as "the publican," a constant reminder of his former life and the immense grace of God that called him. He also lists his own name after Thomas, whereas other Gospels list him first in the pair.
