By altering the narrative structure and using Old Testament references the author created the “Jewish-Christian” gospel.

Matthew and Luke shared sources but, they had their individual sources too. The genealogy, the nativity, and the childhood of Jesus played significant roles within the…

    Perhaps, one observation of the predicaments of the four Gospels will suggest that the author of Matthew composed his Gospel by copying and editing the sources of Mark, Q and M. Nevertheless, by examining his literature, one may find several selections of his arrangements filled perhaps, with his own interpretation and understandings of the actual Kerugma, fundamentals and traditions in which he worked on.
