Matthew was the most popular Gospel account in the early church. It is loved for its emphasis on how Jesus fulfilled Old Testament prophecies, the visit of the Magi, the Sermon on the Mount, the invitation to the easy yoke, Peter’s walk on the water, the parable of the wise and foolish virgins, the guard at the tomb, the Great Commission, and many other unique passages. Matthew presents much of Jesus’ teaching in five great discourses, making his account a discipleship training manual for the church.
