Matthew's Gospel draws parallels between Jesus and Moses, especially in the nativity account.

Matthew had Herod slaughter the innocent infants of Bethlehem because he feared Jesus, just as the Old Testament says that the pharaoh slaughered the Israelite infants because he feared Moses. Joseph went with Jesus to Egypt and Jesus saved his people, just as the Old Testament Joseph went to Egypt and saved his people. Matthew even says that Joseph's father was Jacob (Heli in Luke's Gospel) just as the Old Testament Joseph's father was Jacob.

What moved early believers to leave Jerusalem and go to Samaria and Antioch where they spread the gospel to non-Jewish people?

Early believers were motivated to leave Jerusalem and spread the gospel to Samaria and Antioch primarily due to persecution, particularly following the martyrdom of Stephen. This scattering of believers led them to share their faith with non-Jewish people, fulfilling Jesus’ command to spread the gospel beyond Jerusalem.
