Matthew chapter 5 v 43 "You heard that it was said: 'You must love your neighbour and hate your enemy.' 44 However, I say to you: Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may prove yourselves sons of your Father who is in the heavens, since he makes his sun rise on both the wicked and the good and makes it rain on both the righteous and the unrighteous.......

Jesus taught that its better to be impartial, kind, forgiving resentful and above all to show Love. Which helps to make us better people, following Jesus example, also to pray for someone we are showing love and understanding.

How many books did Matthew write?

-----------------------The disciple Matthew did not write any books.The book now known as Matthew's Gospel was originally anonymous and was only attributed to the disciple whose name it now bears later in the second century, when the Church Fathers were attempting to establish who probably wrote each of the New Testament gospels. Scholars say that Matthew could not have been written by an eyewitness to the mission of Jesus, not least because it can be shown that the author copied approximately 600 verses from Mark's Gospel and copied substantial sayings material from the hypothetical 'Q' document. For convenience, the unknown author continues to be known as Matthew, but this is not the Matthew portrayed in the gospel.


Which Gospel has The Sermon on the Mount?

A:The 'Sermon on the mount' is in Matthew's Gospel. The equivalent passage in Luke's Gospel is known as the 'Sermon on the plain'. Scholars say the reason for this is that both evangelists relied on sayings material from the hypothetical 'Q' document, but that Q provides no context for the sayings attributed to Jesus. The authors of Matthew and Luke created their own background contexts whenever using sayings from Q.


Where was St Matthew the apostle born?

This is not a positive answer, but in Matthew 9:1 it says "So He (Jesus) got into a boat, crossed over and came to His own city" Jesus considered Capernaum His city as He ministered extensively there. Peter, Andrew, John and James also lived there. Then in Matthew 9:9 we are told that as Jesus passed on from there (Capernaum) He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. Assuming Matthew lived in the town where he worked, that would mean he lived in Capernaum.
