Matthew, Gospel Of First book of the New Testament; traditionally attributed to the Apostle Matthew (although no author is named in the text). The Gospel of Matthew contains more teachings of Jesus than any other Gospel, with well-known passages including the Beatitudes (5:3–12), the Lord’s Prayer (6:9–13), the Golden Rule (7:12), and the Great Commission (28:19–20). Matthew is the only Gospel to record the visitation of the magi (Matt 2:1–12), the renaming of Simon as Peter (Matt 16:13–20), and the parables of the Wheat and the Tares (Matt 13:24–30) and the Sheep and the Goats (Matt 25:31–46). In nearly every known manuscript of the Gospels, Matthew is placed first.
