Gabriel told him while he was doing priestly services in the Holy Place at Jerusalem. The angel said, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.” Furthermore, the gospel of Luke states how the angel informed Zechariah what God planned for his future son.

translated from The Gospel of Matthew. I studied sources to find out more about this ancient text, and in the paragraphs below. I am going to talk about to whom the book of Matthew written to, who was Matthew as an apostle, and what he accomplished by his gospel.

Some…

or about it. I am somewhat familiar with the miracles that Jesus performed, but that is it. I was blown away by the lecture of D. A. Carson. His knowledge and ability to recite and bounce between the Old and New Testament and weaving in John’s gospel I found amazing. I would be sitting in the front row if I was one of his students. After listening to him I can only imagine how in depth his paper would be responding to this assignment. The…

the Kingdom, is found in all four Gospels but is mostly talked about in the Gospel of Matthew. An important part of The Proclamation of the Kingdom is in the Beatitudes, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matt 5:3).

Another example of this mystery in the Gospel of Mark. You will see the Son of Man…

Matthew means “gift of the Lord” and the gospel Matthew means “good news for the Jews”. The book of Matthew was written to prove to the Jews that Jesus is the Messiah. The first four gospels of the New Testament all tell the same story because each book was written for different groups;…

passage from Mark 4:35-41 tells a story about one of Jesus’s extraordinary miracles. The miracle of the calming of a storm at sea. The story of the storm begins with departure in a boat. The storm comes next, then rousing of Jesus from sleep, his stilling the storm, and his asking the disciples why they are scared rather than trustful. The story closes on the note of the disciple’s awestruck fear at Jesus, for the storm no longer threatens (Gundry 1993). The theme of this biblical passage in…

Luke’s Gospel was written in the mid to late 80’s of the first century. The attributed author Luke was a physician and companion of Paul. The actual author was a gentile christian convert and a well educated historian at that. The original readers were wealthier Christians from Gentile backgrounds. His readers were people who have already heard of Jesus but wished to know more. Luke was composed probably in a Greek city where St. Paul founded the church. There were many previous narratives…
