Pius XII wrote that salvation is from the Jews. According to the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus felt that he had been sent especially to the people of Israel (Mt 15, 24; cf Mt 10,5-6). These assertions correspond to Matthew's characteristic presentation of the history of salvation: the history of Israel is directed towards its fulfilment in Christ (cf Mt 1,22-23; 2,5-6.15.17-18.23), and the perfection of the divine promises will be achieved when heaven and earth have passed away and all has been fulfilled (cf Mt 5,18).
