    there were four Gospels written, they are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John and they are found in that order in the Christian New Testament. These four Gospels reference the Hebrew Bible in several passages to show the legitimacy of Jesus as messiah.

The Gospel According to Matthew is strictly told from a Jewish…
