The first book of the New Testament, the Gospel of Matthew, begins with the genealogy and infancy narrative of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Written to a Jewish community in Syria (Harrington 861) after the Romans had destroyed all of Jerusalem and the Temple of Herod, Matthew’s Gospel acts as a bridge from the Old Testament to the New Testament, revealing the identity of Jesus as the Supreme Teacher--the new Moses.
