Matthew has been preeminently the Gospel of the church. It tells us of God’s love for Israel and of the fulfillment in Christ of God’s promise to the nation. It gives the complete story of Jesus’ ministry, death and resurrection. The Sermon on the Mount and some of the most precious of Jesus’ parables are contained in this Gospel.

Matthew 27

27:19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
