Gospel of Matthew verses

is the Gospel of Matthew. While the Book of Matthew is read by all people around the world, Matthew himself intended this book to be read by a certain demographic, the Jews. Even after Jesus’ death, many Jews weren’t convinced that Jesus was the Messiah, so Matthew wrote his testimonies down to prove to them that Jesus was in fact the Messiah. This can be seen in both the content and wording of the information and events recorded in his accounts. One of the biggest forms of proof Matthew brings…

Introduction Matthew, also called Levi. Jesus Christ gave Matthew the apostle this name----Levi, it means “the gift of God”. This name also represent the transfer between his sinful past and his future (follow Lord Jesus Christ) and he is not just a gift of God,he is the gift others. He proved this later in Bible stories. Levi is the son of Alphaeus and the brother of James the Less. James the Less is also an apostle of Jesus Christ. The first time Matthew appear in the Holy Bible, he is in a…

Synoptic Gospel of Matthew The Gospel of Matthew is the first book in the New Testament canon. There are more than 60 quotes of the Old Testament in the Gospel of Matthew, it contains 50% more content than Mark even though it used 80% of Mark’s content. It is believed that Matthew the disciple was also known as Levi, a tax collector. Matthew’s portrayal of Jesus is to establish his royal messianic bloodline, that Christianity is the fulfillment of Judaism, and to show Jesus as the Teacher.…

Second, what was the historical and cultural context in which this passage composed? Third, what can be gleaned by looking at this text from the perspective of a few different translations? Fourth, what is…

Studying the New Testament Gospels requires one to look in-depth at the similarities and differences among these gospels and use those observations to gain insights into the messages behind them. Kurt Aland’s book Synopsis of the Four Gospels is helpful in this endeavor because it explores the four gospels and their stories into corresponding pericopes. The pericope focused on in this paper is Pericope 59, which dissects Matthew 5:43-48 and Luke 6:27-28, 32-36 and their versions of loving one’s…

Christ. The Gospels encompass the work, life, and teachings of the Son of God. Jesus did miraculous work to show the people around him his true identity. Christ preached to crowds of thousands, his message heard throughout the land even after he rose to his father in heaven. All of these events have been recorded in the four Gospels in the New Testament. The authors, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, all capture the extraordinary life of Jesus Christ from very different angles. The Gospels are able…

In the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, also known as the Gospels, we see four different accounts of the same story all written to different people groups. In Matthew, we see Jesus portrayed as the rightful heir to the Messianic throne. Matthew was a Jew, who wrote his account to other Jews. Matthew wrote his account to show that Jesus was the fulfilment of the Messianic prophecy. Matthew was written in A.D. 80-100. In Mark, Jesus is written about as a Servant of God. Mark wrote his…

The four Gospels of the New Testament portray Jesus very humanly. They are biographies of Jesus’ life from Nazareth to Bethlehem. The purpose of the Gospels is to share the news of Jesus, His birth, His life, His teachings, His death, and His resurrection. Within all four Gospels, He is portrayed as many leaders, kings, and saviors, although, after reading all four, He is one with all, He is Christ. Three of the four Gospels are considered to be the synoptic gospels, because in the end they…

The Synoptic Gospels The New Testament is composed of four Gospels written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke are known as the Synoptic Gospels because they all contain either similar or identical stories from Jesus’ life. Synoptic means that they can be read together “with one eye” (Harris 117). All the connections and similarities between the Synoptic Gospels had created an issue for scholars that they referred to as the Synoptic Problem. In order to solve…

To me, the key differences between the gospel of Luke and the synoptic gospels largely derive from the role of the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ life and God’s plan for the world. This idea is exemplified by significant difference between the risen Jesus remaining as a presence in the church (Mark and Mathew) and the promise of Jesus sending the Holy Spirit’s companionship (Luke [24:48]). In addition, Jesus is a spirit- an empowered servant whose work here on earth will appeal to Isaiah’s prophecies…
