Gospel of Matthew verses

fulfilment of Christ’s prophecy of perilous times. In moving along, we turn our attention to verse 14 of the text. Verse 14 is a pivotal moment in Christ’s teaching to his disciples. In verses 4-13 Jesus has been telling his disciples to look for signs; however, those signs can be looked at as being vague and not specific. Furthermore, those signs would occur during a time period that would lead to the destruction. In verse 14, Jesus points to a specific sign that would specifically mean that…

The Gospel of Peter is obviously not found in the New Testament or in any other part of the Bible for that matter. This is for both obvious reasons and likely some reasons we do not know. When deciding what Gospels to include in the New Testament the religion leaders of the time chose not to include Peter’s Gospel. Scholars recently discovered this after finding Peter’s Gospel someplace in Egypt. Scholars found that Peter reserved a large portion of his story to describe story of Jesus’s death…

Modern scholarship, beginning with the Enlightenment, brought into question the long-held belief that the Gospels were based on eyewitness accounts of the life of Jesus. Such scholarship has developed a series of dates for the writing of the Gospels; the proposed dates raise several questions about the historical accuracy of the canonical accounts. This paper will first discuss the questions raised by the modern dating system. It will then discuss some of the responses that have been…

this one appears in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, but in two different narrative settings. Assuming that this saying originated in the life of Jesus, how might someone explain its journey from Jesus himself to the Gospels of Thomas, Matthew, and Luke, with reference to oral tradition, "Q," and the Two-Source Hypothesis? Sayings that may have occurred throughout Jesus’ life appear in many of the Gospels. The journey of these sayings from Jesus himself to the different Gospels can happen in…

Is the Bible trustworthy based on what we know from history? Sources outside the Bible all confirm what the Bible says. Josephus was a Jewish historian and mentions Jesus several times. He notes Jesus’ role as a religious teacher and his death by crucifixion. Tacitus was a Roman historian and says Jesus lived during the N.T. times and that he was referred to as the “Christ” by His followers. Modern historians accept these two as reliable reporters and historians and neither one were Christians…

is where Jesus was born. 2.) Event two is my family’s move to Toronto, Ontario in Dec 2004, when I was 3 years old. The parallel in Jesus’s life is when Joseph and Mary flee to Egypt with baby Jesus, due to King Herod trying to kill infant boys (Matthew 2: 13-15). The symbol I drew was a pyramid, which just represents Egypt. 3.) Event three is my Baptism, which was a little unusual because I was four at the time. The parallel to this is Jesus’s Baptism in the Jordan River by John the Baptist.…

have read the Gospels many times. I went to Sacred Heart Catholic School before St. Marys, and one of our assignment in 7 grade was to read each Gospel and answer a packet of questions. Like if said I’ve read the Gospels a lot and about half of those times were for school assignments. When read the Gospel this time around I notice that my mind was filling in the blanks. I was putting parts from other Gospels into this Gospel in place were it wasn’t written. The most common Gospels I read are…

Within the New Testament, the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John work together to give accounts of the life of Jesus; Mark, though, uniquely focuses on Jesus as God. Each of these gospels give an insight into the life of Christ from their perspective. Each of the authors was moved by the Holy Spirit to write their thoughts down onto paper. Each one of these authors had the, “primary purpose…to present the gospel message and call people to faith” (Elwell & Yarbrough, 2013, p. 57). They…

disciples? The names of the twelve disciples of Jesus are Peter, James (the son of Zebedee), John, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James (the son of Alphaeus), Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot.

The Gospel of Mark has a particular style of setting the scene of Jesus death. We are going to examine how Mark puts a dramatic emphasis in the death of Jesus Christ. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the climax of Mark’s dramatic narration. In addition, Mark tells the story in such an ambiguous way for the purpose of the reader to make their own inferences. In the gospel of mark, the narration mentions that there were bystanders provoking Jesus to drink the sour wine while mocking…
