You do understand that the book of Matthew wasn't written by Matthew and seems to be dated around 80 years after it all happened, right?

Who TAUGHT you this?

The book of Matthew was not written by Matthew. You can start with the Wiki page (I know, I know, but the point of Wiki is to follow the links in the footnotes to the articles cited.) Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_Matthew
