Summary

The Gospel of Matthew is a biographical account of the lineage, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  It starts at His birth and ends at His resurrection.  It is written from the Jewish perspective and announces that Jesus Christ is the Messiah.  The book of Matthew offers a logical conclusion to many of the Old Testament ceremonies, unachieved purposes, unappeased longings, and unfulfilled prophecies in the person of Jesus Christ, the Jewish Messiah.

This gospel contains over 60 Old Testament references, of which there were NONE in either Mark, Luke, or John.  The following list is unique to the Gospel of Matthew.
