About Matthew
Matthew writes with the Hebrew Scriptures constantly in view, repeatedly noting that events happened to fulfil what was spoken. He arranges Jesus’ teaching into five great blocks, the first and best known being the Sermon on the Mount. The gospel moves from genealogy and birth through Galilean ministry to the cross and resurrection, ending with the commission to make disciples of all nations.
