Judah the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, Hezron … 1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus; 12 And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sum of money to the soldiers 38 And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee? 13 Go and learn what this means, `I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.' 7 "Woe to the world for temptations to sin! "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much over him today in a dream." Used with permission. New Testament Scholars like Darrell Bock, D.A. 17 So also, he who had the two talents made two talents more. 27 And the men marveled, saying, "What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?" 17 Beware of men; for they will deliver you up to councils, and flog you in their synagogues, Parables unique to Matthew include the Weeds Among the Wheat (Matthew 13:24-30), the Unforgiving Servant (18:23-35), the Laborers in the Vineyard (20:1-16), the Two Sons (21:28-32), and the Ten Virgins (25:1-13). 14 But the Pharisees went out and took counsel against him, how to destroy him. 8 Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! 45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 28 So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents. 17 "Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them. 28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 19 And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 2 The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 16 "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. 15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how to entangle him in his talk. 55 At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? That this is deliberate is clear from the refrain that concludes each discourse: "When Jesus had finished saying these things," or similar words (7:28; 11:1; 13:53; 17 Tell us, then, what you think. 53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many. 38 the field is the world, and the good seed means the sons of the kingdom; the weeds are the sons of the evil one, 28 And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you , let me come to you on the water." 46 Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.". Proud member 24 You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. To see a man clothed in soft raiment? 22 And if those days had not been shortened, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 48 And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink. 3 And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the market place; Where then did this man get all this?" Have you come here to torment us before the time?" 30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 16 "Woe to you, blind guides, who say, 'If any one swears by the temple, it is nothing; but if any one swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.' Day after day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. 36 he took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 1 And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity. Whose son is he?" 6 So, for the sake of your tradition, you have made void the word of God. Then all the disciples forsook him and fled. 21 "Woe to you, Chorazin! The oldest manuscripts available to us are the Curetonian and Sinaiticus texts of the Old Syriac Gospels, the Greek Codex Sinaiticus from St. Catherine's Monastery on Mt. 12 In pouring this ointment on my body she has done it to prepare me for burial. 20 So he who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it; 5 Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the land. for you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law, justice and mercy and faith; these you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 11 And on receiving it they grumbled at the householder, 18 "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death, 19 the Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, `Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. 40 Then two men will be in the field; one is taken and one is left. 24 "A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master; 23 Then if any one says to you, 'Lo, here is the Christ!' 12 But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he made no answer. 11 While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. 8 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; Again this commentary on Matthew gospel is a thorough and scholarly, but written in a readable style. 24 But when the Pharisees heard it they said, "It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons." St. Jerome noted that Matthew wrote his Gospel in Hebrew ("Ad Damasum", xx), but said that it is not known who translated it into Greek. So he left them and departed. 33 The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, and what had happened to the demoniacs. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house." 1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" theology, outline, a brief overview, and the chapters of the Gospel of Matthew. they were filled with awe, and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!" If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross." ", 6 Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, And he kissed him. 11 But he said to them, "Not all men can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given. 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age.". The fivefold division may suggest that Matthew has modeled his book on the structure of the Pentateuch (the first five books of the OT). There are a few important events in the life of Jesus which are unique to Matthew's gospel. 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? 2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his garments became white as light. for if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 21 Another of the disciples said to him, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father." 9 He who has ears, let him hear. 35 And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent round to all that region and brought to him all that were sick, 27 And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life? Others, who assume that Mark was written between 65 and 70, place Matthew in the 70s or even later. Why, they ask, would Matthew, an eyewitness to the events of our Lord's life, depend so heavily on Mark's account? Are you not of more value than they? 34 You brood of vipers! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not alarmed; for this must take place, but the end is not yet. If you would enter life, keep the commandments." 20 When it was evening, he sat at table with the twelve disciples; Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 10 and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me. 16 And behold, one came up to him, saying, "Teacher, what good deed must I do, to have eternal life?" 19 And a scribe came up and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go." 2 and he said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist, he has been raised from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him." ", 17 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them, 3 And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?" The Torah has a nice smooth beginning (“In the Beginning…”). the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ. 19 Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself." 67 Then they spat in his face, and struck him; and some slapped him, 54 When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing; and he said to them, `Why do you stand here idle all day?' 13 "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! 16 And he said, "Are you also still without understanding? 15 Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 25 And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and from beyond the Jordan. The Gospel of Matthew was written to prove that Jesus Christ is Israel's long-awaited, promised Messiah, the King of all the earth, and to make plain the Kingdom of God. 50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, 16 and they said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" There are indications in the writings of the Fathers of the Church (Papias of Hierapolis, St. Irenaeus of Lyons, Origen, Eusebius of Caesarea, and St. Jerome) that "Matthew put together the sayings of the Lord in the Hebrew language, and each one interpreted them as best he could" (Papias, in Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, III, 39, 16). 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. 27 and whoever would be first among you must be your slave; 40 When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?" 'The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; The servants said to him, 'Then do you want us to go and gather them?' 33 and should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?' 5 But you say, `If any one tells his father or his mother, What you would have gained from me is given to God, he need not honor his father.' 33 and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left. 36 Truly, I say to you, all this will come upon this generation. 3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them; The work is attributed to St. Matthew and was composed in Greek, probably sometimes after 70 CE, and borrows heavily from the earlier Gospel According to Mark. Here you have what is yours.' The Gospel has a fitting prologue 27 She said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table." 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. But he who endures to the end will be saved. 23 And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? Along with Mark and Luke, Matthew records a “similar view” of the life, ministry and message of Jesus Christ. 32 Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat; and I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way." 8 But the centurion answered him, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. 45 "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? 34 But the Pharisees said, "He casts out demons by the prince of demons. 49 And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! 1 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 18 "Hear then the parable of the sower. 10 Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.". The Gospel of Matthew is a sort of anti-horror, where one out of place piece is turned until an entirely different world is revealed. He is not God of the dead, but of the living." 33 "Again you have heard that it was said to the men of old, 'You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.' 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. There are elements to Matthew's Gospel that are unique to it alone. 26 For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? 28 And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe upon him, 34 "Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. 6 He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. 18 and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them and the Gentiles. 12 Then the disciples came and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?" 8 Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 42 Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, "My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, thy will be done." 51 "Have you understood all this?" 32 "From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. 25 it is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, 27 And the servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? 2 and they bound him and led him away and delivered him to Pilate the governor. 6 But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since they are blood money." 18 And you say, 'If any one swears by the altar, it is nothing; but if any one swears by the gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath.' 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eats and drinks with the drunken, '", 31 Another parable he put before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field; nor about your body, what you shall put on. 35 And commanding the crowd to sit down on the ground, And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." He has already produced commentaries on the gospels of John and Mark. 4 because John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her." 34 "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. 56 And are not all his sisters with us? The book of Matthew is one of three New Testament books often called the Synoptic Gospels. 21 and as they were eating, he said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me." 14 Let them alone; they are blind guides. 26 But if we say, `From men,' we are afraid of the multitude; for all hold that John was a prophet." 27 and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell; and great was the fall of it." 17 And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany and lodged there. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy; Jesus said to them, "Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. "Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22 But Jesus answered, "You do not know what you are asking. 31 so that the throng wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. 23 And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.' 47 And some of the bystanders hearing it said, "This man is calling Elijah." 22 But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.". 1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, for you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. 24 So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves."
