MATTHEW
INTRODUCTION
The Gospel of Matthew presents Yeshua as the long-awaited Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham, whose mission is to repair Adam, whose name is encoded into Matthew 1:1. The methodology of unlocking the Rabbinic commentary on the New Testament is explained along with opening remarks on the structure of the genealogy, laying the foundation for the journey to come.
ONE
Matthew 1 traces Yeshua’s genealogy from Abraham to Joseph, emphasizing His rightful place as the Messiah and descendant of David. It also recounts the angel’s message to Joseph, revealing that Miriam's child is conceived miraculously and will be named Yeshua, for He will save His people from their sins.
TWO
Matthew 2 describes the birth of Yeshua in Bethlehem, the visit of the Magi from the East, and King Herod’s attempt to kill the child, leading to the flight to Egypt. After Herod’s death, they return, but fearing Herod’s son Archelaus, they settle in Nazareth, fulfilling multiple prophecies about the Messiah.
