When compared to the other three Gospel accounts, the Gospel of Matthew is distinctly Jewish. Matthew wrote from the perspective of Old Testament prophecy to demonstrate New Testament fulfilment in the Person of Jesus Christ. Matthew's Gospel is well-known for its distinctive features like the Jesus' birth story, the Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus' confrontations with the Pharisees and His in-depth explanations of end times events.

Legalism
He talks about the Mishnah and the rules that we’re added to the scriptures.
