According to Mark 2:14 and Luke 5:27, Matthew the tax collector was also known as Levi. Most of us know him as Matthew though, which means “Gift of God.” Scholars have long believed that Matthew’s gospel was written with a Jewish audience in mind, due to the themes and sayings that are evident within its pages. A main theme of Matthew is how Jesus Christ is the King of the Jews, and how He fulfilled Old Testament prophecy in an unexpected but perfect way. Matthew’s genealogy highlights the royal aspect of Jesus, tying Him directly to King David. Matthew also highlights both John the Baptist, the forerunner of Jesus, and Jesus
Himself challenging the religious elites of the day. As the true King, Jesus had the authority to challenge those who had assumed the authority and religious well-being of His people. And as a called prophet of God, John the Baptist was able to begin that challenge, claiming that Jesus would follow him and be full of the Holy Spirit.
