Which parts of the Gospel are missing?


This is often thought to be an accurate cinematic translation of Matthew's Gospel. Though I'm an atheist, this is the only gospel I have read and I happened to notice that some of my favourite, most enigmatic and -forgotten today- parts are there, while others are missing (e.g. the infamous [15,21] episode "I have come only for the lost sheep of Israel").
Is there any expert out there? Can I find a list with the exact parts that were omitted?

This film is one of my favourites, and I now him very well. This adaptation
of the gospel of S.Mateus is literally followed, with no omission and noting added.
The language of the film is Italian witch may create some difficulties to understand better.

In Matthew 19, Jesus says that divorce is a sin and that anyone who remarries or marries someone who got divorced is committing adultery. No Jesus movie has the guts to touch that subject.
