Deze film laat het leven zien van Jezus Christus zoals dat werd opgetekend door evangelist Matteüs. Pasolini gebruikte alleen letterlijke Bijbelteksten. Zo wordt het verhaal van Jezus van het begin tot het eind gevolgd.
Nee, helaas is Het evangelie volgens Matteüs nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
