Matthew

Throughout this outline it is very apparent that the book of Matthew focuses on the birth, life and death of Jesus. This story starts with the birth of Jesus, and follows with the ministry of Jesus throughout his life. “As Jesus’ ministry grows in its impact, it becomes a shared ministry; Jesus commissions and sends his first twelve to spread the good news of the kingdom, teaching, healing and driving out demons as he has done.” (Johnston, 2006, p.154) Matthew also gives us the knowledge of who Jesus is, and gives us many examples of how Jesus lived a perfect life while on earth. We learn about Jesus through his sermon on the mount, an account of many of his miracles and his constant teachings for all to hear and follow him. Towards the end…

When it comes to the Gospel of Matthew, there are very different perspectives when it comes to Jesus. At the time of Matthew writing his gospels, his main focus was on mainly to provide people who were in a sense “like him” to hear the great news when it came to Jesus. One of Matthews main purposes was to be able to provide everyone and anyone who wanted to listen the story of how Jesus lived, died, and then brought back; this is why the Gospel of Matthew is a matter of fact called the Gospel…

The Gospel of Matthew tells of the story of Jesus's role in the fulfillment of the old prophecy / testament from Isaiah. The author of The Gospel of Matthew begins my informing the readers how Jesus is descended from the line of King David and Abraham. This shows that Jesus is not only a king but the Messiah they’ve all been waiting for. In the book it proceeds to tell of Jesus’s teachings providing even more evidence that he’s as great of a teacher than that of Moses. In the book it talks about…

When I was first given this assignment, I had trouble deciding who to write the paper on. For years, I’ve fought a mental battle, trying to prevent people from influencing me— I want to have my own opinions and beliefs. But I realized that the influence didn’t need to concern views or interests. It could be about how somebody had influenced my behaviors, my coping mechanisms, my view of myself. I knew who to write my paper on. An important influence in my life has been my older brother, Matthew…

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…

There is no evidence for the date and time of the composition of the Gospel of Matthew. However from the gospel, it was said of Jesus that he feared the role that the temple play in the lives of the Jews. Assuming that the author did not include any sayings of Jesus then we can only guess that the Gospel of Matthew was written around 70 CE Matthew reveal some of his special interests and purpose There is no internal, direct evidence concerning the purpose of the Gospel of Matthew. Neither is…

Matthew Henson: Explorer and Adventurer The NPR radio station estimates the number of people who died trying to reach the North Pole at 800 (“Profile: Matthew Henson”). 800 people repeatedly tried to fight the odds and be the first people to ever reach that corner of the world. The first successful men to accomplish such a feat were U.S. Navy lieutenant Robert Edward Peary and his colored assistant, Matthew Henson. Though on the same team, Henson happened to be pulling a dog sled ahead of…

Jesus said, “The kingdom of the Father is like a woman. She took a little bit of yeast. She hid it in dough and made it into huge loaves of bread.” Question: A saying of Jesus similar to 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…

The Gospel of Matthew 1. Who was Matthew, and why was he qualified to write a book in the Bible? 1. Matthew was a tax collector who became a disciple of Jesus (Strauss, 2011, p. 5531). It is believed that he wrote the book of Matthew. He was more than qualified to write a book in the Bible because “as a tax collector, Matthew no doubt would have been proficient in both Aramaic and Greek” and would have been highly organized. Furthermore, he was one of Jesus’ twelve thus, he knew Jesus personally…
