Matthew

Matthew’s Gospel, like all of the gospels, tells the story of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Matthew contains a particularly Hebrew emphasis, quoting regularly from the Old Testament, and showing how Jesus fulfilled the expectations so long awaited by God’s people. Although it begins with the birth of Jesus, including a visit from wise men from the East, the majority of the story of Jesus’ life focuses on his adult life and ministry culminating in his death and resurrection. The Gospel ends with the command to proclaim the good news of Jesus to the ends of the earth.
