Background

This gospel with precisely placed first as an introduction PB and

"Messiah, the Son of the living God" (Matthew 16:16). Although the name of the author

not mentioned in Scripture, witness all the church fathers

at first (since approximately the year 130 AD) stated that it was written

by Matthew, one of Jesus' disciples.

If Mark was written to Romans

               (See "INTRODUCTION GOSPEL OF MARK" 08 165)

and Luke to Theophilus and all Gentile believers

               (See "INTRODUCTION GOSPEL OF LUKE" 08 169),

the Gospel of Matthew was written for Jewish believers. Background

Jews of the Gospel is evident in many ways, including

(1) dependence on revelation, promise, and OT prophecies to prove

    that Jesus was indeed the Messiah which is long overdue;

(2) it traces the lineage of Jesus, beginning with Abraham

    (Matthew 1: 1-17);

(3) a statement repeated that Jesus is the "Son of David"

    (Matthew 1: 1; Matthew 9:27; Matthew 12:23; Matthew 15:22; Matthew 20: 30-31; Matthew 21: 9,15;

    Mat 22: 41-45);

(4) the use of terms such as typical Jewish "Kingdom of Heaven" (which

    synonymous with "Kingdom of God") as an expression of respect people

    Jews so reluctant to mention the name of God directly and

(5) instructions to various Jewish customs without explanation

    anything (different from the Gospels in the other).

Nevertheless, the Gospel is not merely to Jews. As

the mandate of Jesus, the Gospel of Matthew in fact addressed to all

church, as well as carefully stating the scope of the universal Gospel

(Ie. Matthew 2: 1-12; Matthew 8: 11-12; Matthew 13:38; Matthew 21:43; Matthew 28: 18-20).

Date and place of the gospel is derived not be ensured. However,

there are strong reasons to believe that Matthew wrote before AD 70

while in Palestine or Antioch in Syria. Some Bible scholars

believe that the gospel is the first Gospel written, while experts

Others consider that the first written Gospel is the Gospel of Mark.

    King of Kings to judge and rule all nations.
