Matthew


That Matthew wrote for the Jews is seen in the central plan of the gospel which is to reveal Jesus as the Messiah of the O.T.

  1. Note his geneology through David from Abraham.
  2. Note frequent references to the O.T. Prophets.
  3. Note frequent references to the kingdom.
  4. Note practically no description of Palestine localities and no explanation of Jewish rites.
