In what sense does Matthew's Gospel reflect the colonial situation in which the community found itself after the fall of Jerusalem, and the subsequent humiliation of Jews across the Roman Empire?

If Matthew's community felt itself to be living on the margins of society, where did it see the centre as lying? In Judaism or in Rome?
