Matthew
Matthew presents Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah and King, fulfilling Old Testament prophecy. Opening with a genealogy that ties Jesus to Abraham and David (Matthew 1:1–17), the book emphasizes Jesus’ authority, teachings (especially the Sermon on the Mount in chapters 5–7), miracles, and kingdom message. Matthew uniquely highlights Jesus as “Emmanuel” (God with us) and repeatedly uses fulfillment language (“This was to fulfill…”) to link Christ to prophetic Scripture.
Author: Matthew – Apostle, Former Tax Collector
Matthew (also called Levi) was one of Jesus’ twelve disciples. As a Jewish tax collector turned evangelist, he wrote primarily for a Jewish audience, skillfully connecting Jesus to Israel’s prophetic and royal lineage. His background gave him unique insight into both Jewish law and Roman administration.
Time Period:
Biblical: Written after the resurrection of Christ, reflecting eyewitness accounts
