Matthew 2

I noticed one thing about Matthew's approach was to justify his testimony to the Jews with scriptural or prophetic prophecies.  One with -

"Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."  (Matthew 1:22–23)

In reference to Isaiah 7:14, and

"And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judæa: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel."   (Matthew 2:5–6)

in reference to Micah 5:2.

Obviously, the Jews were familiar with these prophecies.
