Matthew wrote his Gospel primarily to address the Palestinian Jews to demonstrate that Jesus was the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah. He aimed to connect Jesus' life and teachings to Jewish traditions and scriptures, emphasizing His role as a teacher and leader. By highlighting Jesus’ lineage, miraculous works, and teachings, Matthew sought to validate the claims of Jesus' divinity and encourage his Jewish audience to recognize Him as the promised Savior. This context was crucial for a community grappling with the implications of Jesus' life and their own faith.

Why was Matthew written to the Jews?
A:There are two principal reasons that Matthew's Gospel has traditionally been thought to have been written for Jews. The first is the traditional attribution of this originally anonymous gospel to the disciple Matthew and the second is its extensive use of references from the Old Testament .Modern New Testament scholars now say that the Gospel could not have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed, which rules out Matthew as the real author. They also point to clear evidence that the Gospel was written in Greek, meaning that it was written for a Greek-speaking audience. Its Old Testament references were taken from the Septuagint and include errors that Palestinian Jews would hve quickly recognised. Matthew's Gospel may perhaps have been written for Jews of the Greek-speaking diaspora, but not for Palestinian Jews.
