The Book of Matthew is one of five witness testimonies about Jesus Christ. This book is written for Jews by a Jew who traced his roots back to the tribe of Levi (priestly Jews). Matthew renounced his life as a Jewish tax collector for Rome to follow Jesus/Yeshua (Hebrew name for Jesus). Once seen as a traitor and outcast, Matthew was given love and mercy by Jesus when asked to leave his profession and follow Jesus/Yeshua. The writing style of Matthew is very fact-focused and direct. Matthew divulges the mysteries he saw while studying under, Yeshua, the Messiah.
