Gospel of Matthew verses

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. On of which is the way Matthew makes his own characteristics of the theology relating to…

In the New Testament there are four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. “Each one of the Gospels was written to provide a unique perspective on the person and work of Jesus Christ”. The Gospels are broken down into two parts, the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke) and the Gospel of John. The Synoptic Gospels are separated from the Gospel of John based on their shared stories and language. The Gospel of John provides a more theological outlook on the story of Jesus Christ. From our Four…

Few works of literature have proven to be as enduring and pervasive as those that have their roots in emergence of Christianity. The Gospel of Matthew and Einhard’s Life of Charlemagne alike both focus on the lives of romanticized leaders integral to the establishment and lasting impact of the religion. Although the depictions of Jesus of Nazareth and Charlemagne have much in common, their roles within their respective societies were very different. Through analysis of these historical…

had discussions about the Gospels of Luke and Matthew. Each story contains infancy narratives which educates us more about Jesus’ early life. With the vital elements given in the Gospels, we obtain more knowledge about the Annunciation, genealogy, visitors, other significance. The annunciation was when the angel Gabriel appeared before Mary and asked her to carry the son of God. Similar to the word “annunciation, the incarnation was announced at this time. In Luke’s Gospel, the annunciation…

story. The gospels of Mark and Matthew are recognized as synoptic gospels, being that they contain majority of the same stories about Jesus’ birth, walk, and crucifixion. Even though the Bible doesnt mention which chapter was written first, the Gospel of Mark comes before Matthew, giving us great reason to believe that Mark was the first of many other synoptic gospels written. Reading the two chapters, a person would definitely be able to recognize that the author of Matthew took the gospel of…

In the passage Matthew 14:22 – 33, Matthew describes the scene in which the boat housing the disciples is being fiercely beaten by the waves in the ocean. The disciples have been alone, straining at the oars and struggling against the wind and the water for hours to keep afloat and they are tired. It isn’t until the fourth watch of the night that Jesus appears to them in the middle of the sea, walking on water. The disciples are fearful and Jesus dispels any doubts they may have had by using…

disobeying, bending, or misinterpreting them. However, Jesus was more about the real purpose of the Law, which as demonstrated in his sermons throughout the Gospels, was more about becoming intimate with God and being generous and compassionate to people around oneself. In fact, Jesus condemns some of the Pharisees as being brood of vipers, in Gospel of Matthew 12:34. The condemnation becomes particularly extensive and damning chapter 23, where Jesus lists out all the way why Pharisees are…

We understand discipleship is crucial to the well being of Christians so there must be a plan in place for Christians to fully become disciples of Christ. I believe this is done through small group ministry. Scripture states, “We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all energy, which so powerfully works in me” (Col.1:28-29 NIV). We must strive to place people in small groups for…

at the school of theology, he receives a spiritual awakening, and he sells his belongings like Saint Alexis (Waldo). The master references the Gospel of Matthew when Waldo comes to see him: "Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me" (Matthew 19:21). Although Waldo does not sell all of his belongings, he takes on the role of an apostle living off what God can provide him. Waldo…

In the book of Matthew, Jesus explains what is means to follow him in full obedience to God and Paul teaches people how to live out that obedience in his letter to the Romans. These two passages present the same viewpoint despite the different elements of humanity each depicts. Both Jesus and Paul present that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light for eternal life. However, obedience to the Mosaic Law is the affirmation of that faith. Matthew chapter five tells us that in the early stages…
