    The Book of Matthew

    General Info: This is the story of Jesus of Nazareth, recorded by the apostle Matthew as a compelling witness that Jesus is the long-anticipated Messiah, who brought the kingdom of God to earth and is the prophesied fulfillment of Gods promise of true peace and deliverance for both Jew and Gentile. Matthew crafted his account to demonstrate Jesus messianic identity, his inheritance of the Davidic kingship over Israel, and his fulfillment of the promise made to his ancestor Abraham (Matt. 1:1) to be a blessing to all the nations (Gen. 12:13). Thus, Matthews Gospel is an evangelistic tool aimed at his fellow Jews, persuading them to recognize Jesus as their long-awaited Messiah. At the same time, the Gospel reveals clearly to Gentiles that salvation through Jesus the Messiah is available to all nations. For Jewish Christians, Matthews Gospel provides encouragement to stand steadfast amid opposition from their own countrymen, as well as Gentile pagans, secure in the knowledge of their citizenship in Gods kingdom. Layout and Structure: Matthew divided his Gospel into three major sections. He introduced new major sections with the words "from then on Jesus began to" (Matt 4:17; 16:21). These transitional statements divide the Gospel into the introduction (Matt 1:1-4:16), body (Matt 4:17-16:20), and conclusion (Matt 16:21-28:20). Matthew also divided his Gospel into five major blocks of teaching, each of which concludes with a summary statement (Matt 8:1; 11:1;13:53; 19:1; 26:1). Some scholars believe these five major discourses were meant to correspond to the five books of Moses and to confirm Jesus' identity as the new Moses.
