Matthew divides his Gospel into alternating sections of narrative and discourse.

Each operates to draw out a fresh perspective on just who this Jesus character is, what his message is, and how we are invited into it. By crafting exactly five discourses, Matthew aligns his Gospel with the five books of both Psalms and Torah, showing readers that Jesus’s words constitute nothing less than a new Torah, a redefinition of how to be human. Dive into Matthew’s telling of the Jesus story as he highlights themes of Jesus’s authority, God with us, and faith as the vital human response to both.
