Abstract
My intention in undertaking this project is to thoroughly investigate the possibility of any connections between the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs and the Gospel according to Matthew. Since the milieu of the New Testament era has produced not only our Scriptures, but also a number of other documents which have influenced and were influenced by the Scriptures; and since the Testaments appear to be a Jewish document while Matthew’s Gospel is the more "Jewish" of the Gospels, there seems to be a good possibility that there is a relationship between the two documents which, we feel, might prove helpful in understanding the Matthean Gospel.
