Document Summary
Is an expanded version of mark, framed by accounts of jesus" birth (ch 1+2) and hisiappearance after the resurrection. Matthew & luke are the only ones with virgin birth. 5 blocks of teaching material emphasizing a new covenant in chapter 26. Remember the covenants with god at each stage in the old testament. Matthew is considered the most jewish of gospels. For matthew the law is intensified and made better by jesus not negated like mark. This is the covenant of the new testament. 1) sermon on the mount (ch 5-7) 2) instructions to the 12 disciples (ch 10) 3) parables of the kingdom (ch 13) 4) instructions to the church (ch 18) 5) warnings of the final judgement (ch 23-25) Similar to mark but softer it"s farther off and not immediate. Torah keeping & surpassing the law. Softens mark"s portrayal of an apocalyptic jesus adding parables that imply a delay in 2nd coming (ch 24-25)
