Both Matthew (Matthew 2:1-12) and Luke (Luke 2:1-20) record the story of Jesus’ birth‚ but each one emphasizes different aspects of that story. 1) What is unique about Matthew’s story? Why do you think Matthew emphasized those aspects? Certain parts of Matthews story that where unique I thought was the wording. The reason this is so important is because it can shows us that Jesus was a child in the story instead of a new born baby. It is typical in most nativities scenes that they wise men are included

differences and similarities between Matthew and Luke compared to the New Testament book Mark have led many scholars to understand the role of redaction criticism. Redaction criticism remains a way for many to look at these Synoptic Gospels (Mark‚ Luke & Matthew) to understand why the author or authors of these books may have changed‚ modified‚ added‚ or left certain passages the way they were. More importantly‚ I will be focusing on the introduction of each Gospel‚ as well as the middle passages that

They all take place in the home of Simon the leper. John indicates this took place six days before Passover and that Bethany was where Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead.

An analysis of a story in Three Versions: Jesus Drives out a Demon and Heals a Person (Matthew 12:22-32//Mark 3:20-30//Luke 11:14-23) Introduction I find it fascinating but also a bit confusing that the bible has more than one account of similar stories.

It is understandable to me why people have trouble sorting through the different versions‚ in the hopes of finding the truth

The Gospel of Matthew was written with the intention of bridging the gap between the prophecies of the Old Testament‚ and their fulfillment by Jesus in the New Testament. In order to make this connection‚ Matthew’s Gospel takes on a specific mode. It is mainly composed of stories that relate to the teaching aspect of Jesus’ life. Matthew uses his role as an instructor to portray Jesus as a “humble and compassionate Messiah.” Matthew’s perspective is also focused; the Romans are seemingly less culpable

The Church and the Gospels of Matthew and Luke The four authors that wrote about Jesus life and ministry tell the same story in different ways.

In the Bible‚ I was able to fully analyze a chapter in the Gospel of Matthew. The chapter that I picked was Matthew 7:1-6.

It made sense because it gave reasoning to why spirituality is prevalent in certain people. People like myself have been taught that judging others is not a well habit. This chapter goes into details
