The Gospel of Matthew (Gk. Κατὰ Ματθαίον Ευαγγέλιον, Kata Matthaion Euangelion or Τὸ Ευαγγέλιον Κατὰ Ματθαίον, To Euangelion Kata Matthaion) is one of the four canonical gospels in the New Testament and is a synoptic gospel. It narrates an account of the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. It describes his genealogy, his miraculous birth and childhood, his baptism and temptation, his ministry of healing and preaching in Galilee, his trip to Jerusalem marked by an incident in the Temple, and finally his crucifixion and resurrection. The resurrected Jesus commissions his Apostles to "go and make disciples of all nations."

The Early Christian tradition attributes the Gospel to Matthew, one of Jesus' disciples. Gospel of Matthew is the first book in the New Testament. It has 28 Chapters.
