==Commentary==
The [[Gospel]] according to [[apostle Matthew|Matthew]] (Greek: Κατά Μαθθαίον) is the first book of the [[New Testament]]. It is one of the four [[Gospels]], containing an acccount account of the birth of [[Jesus]], his ministry and his death and resurrection. It closes with Jesus' [[Great Commission]], where he called his disciples to "go and make disciples of all nations."---- '''Read [[Matthew Henry's Concise Bible Commentary]] on the [[Text:MHC Concise {{SUBPAGENAME}}|{{SUBPAGENAME}}]]''' ----

===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; [[Mathew Matthew 4]]:14-16; [[Matthew 8]]:17; [[Matthew 12]]:17-21; [[Matthew 13]]:35; [[Matthew 27]]:9-10).
