Gospels

Traditionally Matthew (Levi)

Traditionally dated c. 50–70 AD

Jesus as the Messiah, the King of the Jews.

Matthew traces Jesus' life, teachings, and death, emphasizing how He fulfilled Old Testament covenants and presenting Him as the authoritative teacher of the Kingdom.

“For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in,”

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?”

“Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.”
