When was St Matthew born?

I agree that "perhaps that he may well have lived most of his life in the first century AD." A careful reading of my answer shows that I only said that date of the Gospel later attributed to Matthew does not provide any useful information about the date of the birth or death of St Matthew himself. However, the addition of this minor change does not affect the meaning of my answer.

I did not query the assertion that St Matthew was born on 1 BCE, although if verified that would make my own answer redundant.
