The comment of the disciples upon the identification of the Baptist with Elias (Matt.xvii.

13), the sign of the prophet Jonas (Matt.xvi.1, 4), and the triumphal entry (the ass _with the colt_), show a special affinity to St.Matthew.And, lastly, in concert with the same Evangelist, Justin has the calumnious report of the Jews (Matt.xxviii.12 15) and the baptismal formula (Matt.
