Jesus’ point in this teaching is one is not only liable for judgment if one murder, but one is also liable for judgment if they are mad at their brother.

Very few deny the historical existence of Jesus of Nazareth, who lived in ancient Palestine roughly between 4 BC to 30/33 AD. Historically, Christians have looked to the four Gospels of the New Testament—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They are called gospels because they portray the life and work of Jesus Christ as good news (gospel is an older term for good news). For Christians, not only are these Gospels the most reliable source for historical information about Jesus, but, more importantly, they are divinely inspired revelation. While human authors wrote these works, Christians believe they are inspired, meaning God speaks through them to the readers. As revelation, these sources draw readers into a personal relationship with God. (Diffey 2014). The gospels tell the story who Jesus Christ is. The gospels tell why Jesus was
