Describe The Unique Traits Of Matthew From The Four Gospels

Matthew is the first of four gospels in the New Testament. Matthew presents his story of Jesus, the demands of Christian discipline, and shares the news of the death and resurrection of Jesus. There are many questions in Matthew that can not be answered.The book of Matthew is a gospel that contains narrative history, genealogy, parables, sermons, and some prophetic oracles. The gospel of Matthew was originally written for a Jewish audience by a Jewish perspective. This is why Matthew is often referred to as "The Gospel for the Jews". Although Matthew was written for Jews, it does not include very much of the Jewish culture and tradition. Throughout the entire gospel of Matthew, it is very clear that the entire book is mainly incorporated with Jews. The book of Matthew ties in with the Old Testament several times, such as when they refer to Jesus as Messiah or King. The key word used in Matthew is "kingdom" and it is used 28 times. The reason Matthew was written was to reveal that Jesus was the messiah, the long of the Jews, and to conceive the Jews that Jesus Christ was indeed their long awaited messiah. The author of Matthew

Not much is known about the apostle Matthew, before he was one of the 12 disciples was a employed by the Roman Empire, he collected taxes. He collected taxes for Herod Antipas from commercial traffic. Matthew was the son of Alpheus, and born in the first century in Galilee. Matthews Hebrew name Mattityahu means “gift of YHWH”, or “gift of God”, and is referred to as Levi in Luke. Matthew has a simple call story, Jesus was walking around Capernaum, where

Another account where John is unlike Matthew is Jesus’ ministry. In Matthew, only after the arrest of John the Baptist and the end of his ministry does Jesus’ ministry begin (Harris 175). During Jesus’ ministry according to John, he travels back and forth from Jerusalem and Galilee a number of times over the course of three years, but in Matthew, Jesus only makes this journey once (Harris 255- 256). The author of Matthew having been Jewish, and the location of this

He had great authority, and he was supremely obedient. He had power, but was humble and served to glorify God with that power. He was depicted as one who's every action was oriented towards doing the will of God. It is a standard that Matthew gives to nobody else.

     The details of Jesus’ childhood were skipped by Matthew, most likely to show how significant his years of ministry were. The next important moment in the life of Jesus was his baptism. He went to the Jordan River where he met his cousin, John the Baptist, who was a prominent preacher of the time. John knew that Jesus was the Son of God, so he found it difficult to baptize him. He felt that Jesus should be the one baptizing him, but Jesus made it clear that it was his Father’s will that it should be done. As Jesus was baptized, the presence of God was felt among Jesus and the crowd. Matthew 3:16 tells of the heavens being opened up and the spirit of God descending upon him in the form of a dove. In Matthew 3:17, God said, “This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.” To anyone who is unfamiliar with Jesus, this is strong evidence of his powerful presence in the world to do the work of God.

The Gospel according to Matthew is the first book in the New Testament, and also serves as a bridge between the Old Testament and the New Testament. The gospel tells us of Jesus and his teachings. It is believed that the Gospel originated with Matthew, one of Jesus' disciples, and it circulated anonymously (Harris 149). The message in this gospel was compiled to minister to a Jewish and Jewish-Christian community when tensions between early Christians and postwar Jewish leaders aggravated bitter controversy. The Gospel of Matthew was written as an encouragement to the Greek-speaking Jewish Christians and Gentiles who were, at least partly, Torah observant during the 80s C.E. probably at Antioch in Syria

Many people did not trust tax collectors because they were known to be very corrupt. When Jesus started to eat with tax collectors it made people angry because of their low opinion of them. Matthew answered Jesus's call to join him and followed his ministry. On the day he joined Jesus Matthew threw a large feast for his friends and family and introduced them all to Jesus. Matthew made one of the largest changes in his life by turning away from a life of riches and comfort to follow Jesus. Matthew was on of the disciples who saw both the resurrection and the ascension of Jesus. After the ascension of Jesus Matthew began to preach God’s word. He talked about the messiah and how Jesus was God’s son sent down from heaven. At first he stayed in Judea spreading God’s word around. After that he traveled to other countries spreading God’s word around. It cannot be agreed upon which countries he went to but it is said that he died a Christian martyr and was made a saint. Matthew is believed to be the author of the book of Matthew in the bible. His book is considered very accurate because he is known to have been a very accurate record keeper from his time as a tax

These two Gospels although different both still narrate the story of Jesus Christ in different ways as the authors conduct a message for the intended audience. At the time the gospels were written it was not important for the author to claim his or her work. due to this the Gospels are not identified within anyone specific. Through examination towards Matthew and Mark it is clearly visible that

When looking at a work of art what comes to mind? Here are just a few things to start: why did the artist decide to paint this art work, what style is it, and what was its inspiration? To really understand this piece, St Matthews in the Ebbo Gospels, this was a painting done for the Archbishop Ebbo of Reims who had a painting of the evangelist St Matthews, who was receiving word from God. The painting depicts more specifically the message coming from a cherub that’s reading a from a scroll and St Matthew is writing furiously. Do you think that political influence a work of art? During this era, many Bishops only want to show their wealth and are not really focused on spreading the word of Christianity. By looking at St. Matthew from the Ebbo

Matthew does not address Jesus giving the disciples the gift of the Holy Spirit, which empowers them to spread the good news. This is addressed in Act, with the Great Commission. Matthew does not address the ladder Judean ministry of Christ, which is in part due to the time frame in which Matthew wrote his gospel. Like Paul, Matthew does not address Jesus as jealous, one who desires an intimate and personal relationship with his children. For the most part, Matthew is all inclusive. He talks about the birth of Jesus, life of Jesus, and death of Jesus.

The first Chapter in the Gospel of Mark and the third Chapter in the Gospel of Matthew discuss the same topic - the baptism of Jesus Christ. As Matthew's Gospels were written after those of Mark, most of Matthew overlapped that of Mark and at times was copied verbatim. For example, the quote in the third line of both gospels was identical, "Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths." Furthermore, as aforementioned they both divulged into Christ's baptism and discussed John the Baptism and his preaching. While sharing similar themes, there are key differences that make each text unique. In Matthew's Gospel, he tends to add information left out by Mark like the quote that identifies Jesus' enemies - the Pharisees and the Sadducees

At the start of Jesus ministry, he ended up passing the water of the baptism of John, As Jesus was finally baptized he came up from the water and said this is my son. God had instructed Moses to deliver a message to the Pharaoh and by this text, Matthew has left his audience to believe in the identity of the relationship between Jesus and God.

Although much of the content between these three books are shared, each highlights different characteristics thus emphasizing different aspects in their stories. This too, implies different audiences. Matthew’s gospel places a strong emphasis on Jesus being viewed as the long awaited Messiah. This gospel is primarily concerned with showcasing Jesus as the Great Teacher and one with the ability to interpret the Law. This is achieved with this book’s detailed genealogy of Jesus, emphasizing his Davidic lineage. Further, this book also emphasized Jesus’ views on hypocrisy. Without doubt, the gospel of Matthew was written for a Jewish audience, referring to Christ as the King of

The Gospels of Matthew and Luke All three of the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke) were written with an audience in mind and highlight messages unique to their author’s own context, perspective, and interpretation. Although they have very different illustrations of how they present Jesus, they display common stories and important incidents that allow readers to understand all aspects of who God is and what he stands for. While Matthew addressed his writing to the Jews to prove that Jesus was the Messiah and authoritative teacher whom fulfilled the Old Testament Scriptures, Luke wrote his gospel for a marginalized Gentile audience, emphasizing that the Messiah came to the poor, lowly, outcasts. Matthew focuses on the fulfillment of Jesus as the Messiah whereas Luke focuses more on how people

In the holy bible, The Gospel of Matthew is first in the chronological order. The Gospel of Matthew was written by Matthew the Apostle. In the gospel of Matthew, there are many stories and Jesus’s sayings not mentioned in the other gospels. According to the bibleproject.com, “Matthew portrays Jesus as a greater-than-Moses figure who fulfills the promises of the ancient Scriptures and whose resurrection has enthroned him as
