A:
Tradition says that Matthew's Gospel was written by the disciple Matthew, and based on this it would seem that Matthew presented Jesus as the Jewish messiah because he learnt as a disciple to regard Jesus as the messiah.
In fact, Matthew was originally anonymous and was only attributed to the disciple Matthew later in the second century. New Testament scholars have established that Matthew was actually based on Mark's Gospel, and includes around 90 per cent of the verses from Mark, often in exactly the same words in the Greek language. Matthew presents Jesus as the Jewish messiah because Mark had done so.
However, scholars point out that Matthew was originally written in Greek Koine and so could not really have been written for Palestinian Jews. Also, the Old Testament references use the Septuagint, a flawed, early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures, and anyone familiar with the Hebrew language would quickly realise that the author knew little about Judaism. Nevertheless, Matthew was written in the eighties of the first century, only a few years after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple and at a time when Judaism was uncertain of its future. Matthew's Gospel might have been written specifically to explain that the future of Judaism lay in the Christian faith.
The vast majority of Jewish people do not believe that Jesus was the messiah, but that the messiah has yet to come.
Christians believe that Jesus was the Jewish Messiah. Jews disagree.
That Jesus is the promised Messiah, as prophesied in the Old Testament. The Gospel was written for a largely Jewish audience.
The main message of the Gospel of Matthew is to present Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah and to emphasize the importance of following his teachings, particularly the Sermon on the Mount. It also highlights the fulfillment of Jewish prophecies and the universal nature of Jesus' mission.
as the Christ/messiah, it's in Matthew
The Jews do not recognize Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah, they are still waiting for the Messiah to come.
The theme of Matthew is Jesus the Messiah and the theme of Mark is Jesus the Wonderful.
The Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
Judaism does not feel that Jesus fulfilled any part of the role of the Jewish Messiah. It is Christianity and Islam that assert that he did.
Jesus was Jewish and all first Christians were Jewish so was Matthew. This is the foundation of Christianity.
The Gospel of Matthew portrays Jesus as a kingly messiah, emphasizing his genealogy as a descendant of King David, his birth as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, and his royal titles such as "Son of David" and "King of the Jews." It also includes the story of the Magi visiting Jesus, who were seeking the "king of the Jews."
Jesus did not have a blood relation to Matthew. They were both Jewish, that's it.
