Search Free Images from the Gospel of Matthew by Verse
The Gospel of St. Matthew has always been accepted by the Church as the work of the apostle
Matthew, whose call to follow Jesus is told by himself within the book. He was a "publican" or collector of taxes under the Roman government. We
have some evidence that Matthew wrote an account of Jesus in Hebrew almost immediately after the death of the Master, but this work has not
been preserved. Probably the apostle composed this present Greek book thirty years later, that is, about 60 A. D. The account is undeniably that of an eyewitness of many of the scenes described.
Matthew's Gospel differs from the others chiefly in giving us more of the discourses of Jesus, such for instance as the "Sermon on the Mount,"
and more also of His actual words in argument, the trials of debate forced upon Him by the priesthood. It is also notable that Matthew seems
writing for his own countrymen, the Jews. He refers constantly to the Old Testament. By quoting the ancient prophecies he aims to show his
people that Jesus fulfills every prophetic promise, and thus is indeed the Christ, the long expected Messiah.
