Key verses

Who wrote it

The Gospel does not say who wrote it. Papias, early in the 2nd century, says that Matthew collected the sayings of the Lord “in the Hebrew language” (quoted by Eusebius, Church History 3.39.16). Since then tradition has attributed it to Matthew, the tax collector whom Jesus called (9:9).

When it was written

In the second half of the 1st century AD. Whether before or after the destruction of the temple in AD 70 is debated.

For whom, and in what situation

The text does not name its readers. It often quotes the Scriptures of Israel (“so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled,” 1:22) and gathers the teaching of Jesus into five great discourses (7:28; 11:1; 13:53; 19:1; 26:1).
