The major sources used by the author of Matthew's Gospel were Mark's Gospel and the 'Q' Document. However, it is well known that, more than any other gospel author, Matthew made use of the Old Testament, although not just the Torah (Pentateuch). In some cases, Matthew showed Jesus as fulfilling prophecies of the Old Testament, while in other cases, he used parallels. There are several instances where Matthew parallelled the Hebrew scriptures in describing events in the life of Jesus. For example, Matthew said that Joseph's father was Jacob (whereas Luke said that his father was Heli), just as in the Old Testament, Joseph's father was called Jacob; and the infancy narrative, with its flight and return from Egypt, parallels the story of Moses in several ways.

What is the relationship between the Torah and Matthew's gospel?

The Torah, comprising the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, serves as a foundational text for Jewish law and ethics, while the Gospel of Matthew is a New Testament text that presents the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Matthew often references the Torah to demonstrate how Jesus fulfills Jewish prophecy and law, highlighting the continuity between the Hebrew Scriptures and the message of Christianity. Additionally, Matthew's emphasis on Jesus' teachings can be seen as a reinterpretation of the ethical and moral principles found in the Torah, aiming to present a new understanding of faith and righteousness.

What is Matthew the Aposlte's writing style?

There are many varied answers to this question. Simply put, Matthew is interested in the status of Jesus as the Jewish Messiah, and as such spends much time portraying him as such. He inserts five 'blocks' of Jesus' teaching, comparing it to the five books of Moses (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy), the 'Torah' or 'Pentateuch'. He also quotes much of the Old Testament scriptures that support Jesus' Messiahship and that he fulfils, and adds the genealogy of Jesus at the beginning, showing how he is the 'Son of David' as promised in the Old Testament. Matthew was probably written after Mark, as 99% of Mark is in Matthew, almost word for word.


What is the Hebrew name for the first five books of the gosple?

This question has two possible answers. The reason is that the first five Hebrew books of the Bible are not refered to as the "gospel." Only the part of the Bible that gives the accounts of the minstry of Jesus is called the gospels. The first five books of the Bible was called the Pentateuch. That refers to the first five books of the "Old Testiment," or "Hebrew Scriptures" that were written by Moses in the Hebrew language. The part of the Bible that is normally referred to as the gospels, that is, the minstry of Jesus, are the first four books of the "New Testiment," or "Greek Scriptures." This is the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
