Connections: Because Matthew’s purpose is to present Jesus Christ as the King and Messiah of Israel, he quotes from the Old Testament more than any of the other three Gospel writers. Matthew quotes more than 60 times from prophetic passages of the Old Testament, demonstrating how Jesus fulfilled them.
Mashirikisho: Kwa sababu kusudi la Mathayo ni kuwasilisha Yesu Kristo kama mfalme na Masihi wa Israeli, ananukuu kutoka kwa Agano la Kale zaidi kuliko waandishi wengine watatu wote wa injili. Mathayo ananukuu zaidi ya mara 60 kutokana na vifungu vya unabii vya Agano la Kale, na kuonyesha jinsi Yesu ameyatimiliza.
