The Gospel according to Matthew (Greek: Εὐαγγέλιον κατὰ Ματθαῖον, romanized: Euangélion katà Matthaîon), also called the Gospel of Matthew, or simply Matthew, is the first book of the New Testament and one of the three synoptic Gospels. It tells how Israel's Messiah, Jesus, comes to his people and forms a community of disciples, how Israel becomes divided and how Jesus condemns this hostile Israel, of how this culminates in his departure from the Temple and his execution; at this point the whole people reject Jesus, and on his resurrection he sends the disciples to the gentiles.
