Matthew’s End
We know he spent the remainder of his life proclaiming Jesus. Tradition says he evangelized in Ethiopia and Persia. There is no reliable evidence of how he died. Earliest traditions say he was burned at the stake. Like Paul, he lived a life that had no regrets that he left everything behind and followed Jesus. Php 3:7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.
