==Purpose==
The purpose of Matthew is to show that Jesus is the [[Messiah]] who has come according to the Old Testament scriptures. Indeed, Matthew includes 9 additional proof texts that the others Gospels do not. Matthew is also known for the use of sermons, such as the [[sermon on the mount]]. It is these sermons that contribute to Matthew's size more than the any extra content or stories within the text.
