Due to the book's strong Jewish characteristics, some scholars date his Gospel around the early part of A.D. 50 when the church was largely Jewish. Many other scholars believe that the book was written after the [[Gospel of Mark]] and so date the Gospel of Matthew, anywhere between A.D. 65-75.

Matthew's main purpose appears to be to show that Jesus is the fulfillment of the [[Old Testament]] predictions concerning the [[Messiah]]. All of the Gospel writers quote from the Old Testament, however Matthew has nine Old Testament proof-texts that are unique to his Gospel ([[Matthew 1]]:22-23; [[Matthew 2]]:15; [[Matthew 2]]:17-18; [[Matthew 2]]:23; [[Matthew 4]]:14-16; [[Matthew 8]]:17; [[Matthew 12]]:17-21; [[Matthew 13]]:35; [[Matthew 27]]:9-10).

Q hypothesis

Date of writing

Due to the book's strong Jewish characteristics, some scholars date his Gospel around the early part of A.D. 50 when the church was largely Jewish. Many other scholars believe that the book was written after the Gospel of Mark and so date the Gospel of Matthew, anywhere between A.D. 65-75.

Purpose

Matthew's main purpose appears to be to show that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament predictions concerning the Messiah. All of the Gospel writers quote from the Old Testament, however Matthew has nine Old Testament proof-texts that are unique to his Gospel (Matthew 1:22-23; Matthew 2:15; Matthew 2:17-18; Matthew 2:23; Matthew 4:14-16; Matthew 8:17; Matthew 12:17-21; Matthew 13:35; Matthew 27:9-10).
