Commentary on Matthew

The gospel of Matthew was written for an audience of Jewish-Christians who strove to be faithful to the Torah yet exceed the spirituality of its teachers. The author focused on the fulfillment of Scripture by citing many verses from the Old Testament. He even structured his gospel in five sections, echoing the five books of the Law.
