Yes...St. Matthew didn't argue with Jesus that skimming from the taxes his fellow Jews paid was the best he could do under his complex circumstances of his life and that this is what God wanted from him...that he knew full well the rule against stealing but didn't appreciate the value of the commandment against theft and the prohibition against stealing is outdated legalism...maybe he had children that needed that income (had to do it for the kids). He also didn't get one of the Jewish priests to help him discern/justify his sin.
