Imagine if a king got really angry and decided to punish someone unfairly, just like when you get mad and want to punish your friend for not sharing their toy. But this time, the punishment was very severe and sad.

Matthew wrote his Gospel around A.D. 80-90 in Greek, primarily for a Jewish-Christian audience. The cultural setting is one of tension between Roman rulers and the Jewish population, where political figures sometimes acted on personal whims at great human cost.
