Notes

The Gospel of St. Matthew, one of the four canonical gospels in the New Testament, is traditionally attributed to Matthew, a tax collector and one of Jesus's twelve apostles. It presents a detailed account of Jesus's life, teachings, death, and resurrection, emphasizing his role as the long-awaited Jewish Messiah. The gospel is structured around five major discourses, including the Sermon on the Mount, and highlights Jesus's fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. Written primarily for a Jewish audience, it seeks to establish Jesus as the legitimate heir to the promises made to Abraham and David, thereby bridging the Jewish faith with the emerging Christian movement.
