What four events changed the world of Matthew's community since the Gospel of Mark was written?
A:Undoubtedly one of the events was the arrival in Matthew's community of a copy of Mark's Gospel. Matthew's Gospel is known to have been based on Mark and contains some 600 of the 666 verses in Mark, often in the same words in the original Greek language. We can therefore consider the publication of Matthew's Gospel the fourth event that changed the world of the community in which the Gospel was written. At least one event after the distribution of Mark's Gospel led to the decision within this community to write a revised gospel. We do not really know where that community was, nor who constituted its membership. We therefore do not know about other important events that led to Matthew's Gospel being written, but we can speculate by looking at the changes that the author of Matthew's Gospel made to the original. The community had enthusiastically adopted the teachings of Mark's Gospel, but wanted to know more about Jesus. When and how was he born? What happened after the resurrection that Mark so briefly alludes to? Mark's Gospel originally ended at verse 16:8, with the 'Long Ending' (verses 16:9-20) added much later to answer this second question as part of Mark's Gospel, but Matthew's community still only had the original version of Mark, which only tells us that the young man told the women that Jesus was risen and they fled in teror, telling no one. This demand to know more about Jesus made a nativity account and a resurrection account become requirements of the community's religious leaders.Matthew's Gospel also copies sayings material from the hypothetical 'Q' document. Although the original layer of the four layers in Q may be older than Mark's Gospel, Matthew uses the final version, which probably arrived in the community after they had already received Mark's Gospel. This could have been another of the 'four events', leading to the decision to revise Mark's Gospel.

Why was Matthew the most popular gospel in the early church?
If indeed it was the most popular, a simple explanation would be that the Christian Church sprang from the Jewish communities and the first body of the Church was heavily or nearly fully Jewish converts. Matthew spoke strongly to this community to prove Jesus was their promised Messiah.
Was Matthew's Gospel written primarily for Jews?
John Shelby Spong says the author was a Jew familiar with midrash storytelling, but his primary language must have been Greek. Hershel Shanks believes Matthew was probably written for a Christian community in Antioch. This community could of course have consisted of former Jews.If indeed Matthew's Gospel was written for Jews, they could only have been Greek-speaking Jews of the diaspora, unfamiliar with the Hebrew scriptures, as Matthew only refers to the Septuagint Old Testament and even relies on translation errors in the Septuagint.
