USCCB - NAB - Matthew 5 Matthew added in spirit in order either to indicate that only the devout poor were meant or to extend the beatitude to all, of whatever social rank, who recognized their complete dependence on God. [22-26] Reconciliation with an offended brother is urged in the admonition of Matthew 5:23-24 and the parable of Matthew 5:25-26 (Luke 12:58-59). Matthew's "exceptive clause" is against such permissiveness for Gentile converts to Christianity; cf the similar prohibition of porneia in Acts 15:20, 29. www.usccb.org /nab/bible/matthew/matthew5.htm   (2614 words)

USCCB - NAB - Matthew - Introduction The antitheses of the Sermon (Matthew 5:21-48) both accept (Matthew 5:21-30, 43-48) and reject (Matthew 5:31-42) elements of that law, and in the former case the understanding of the law's demands is deepened and extended. The time of the latter is unknown (Matthew 24:36, 44), and the disciples are exhorted in various parables to live in readiness for it, a readiness that entails faithful attention to the duties of the interim period (Matthew 24:45-25:30). Matthew's portrayal of Jesus in his passion combines both themajestic serenity of the obedient Son who goes his destined way in fulfillment of the scriptures (Matthew 26:52-54), confident of his ultimate vindication by God, and the depths of fear and abandonment that he feels in face of death (Matthew 26:38-39; 27:46). www.nccbuscc.org /nab/bible/matthew/intro.htm   (2810 words)

APOSTLE MATTHEW The apostle Matthew, also called Levi, was the son of Alphaeus and the brother of the apostle James the Less, or, James, son of Alphaeus. Matthew probably remained in the Holy Land, as tradition says, for 15 years and after this, encouraged by the reports of the success of other Christian leaders among the Jews (the Diaspora) and also among the Gentiles, he went forth on several missionary journeys. Matthew was a gifted writer, an ardent disciple, and was perhaps the best educated of any of the Twelve Apostles. www.biblepath.com /matthew1.html   (135 words)

Gospel of Matthew The Sermon on the Mount by Joachim Jeremias Matthew was therefore dependent on the writing of such a man for the production of his book.

USCCB - NAB - Matthew 19 Matthew follows the Marcan sequence of events, though adding material both special to this gospel and drawn from Q. The second part ends with the denunciation of the scribes and Pharisees (Matthew 23:1-36) followed by Jesus' lament over Jerusalem (Matthew 23:37-39). However, it is to be noted that this speech lacks the customary concluding formula that follows the five discourses (see the note on Matthew 7:28), and that those discourses are all addressed either exclusively (Matthew 10;18;24;25) or primarily (Matthew 5-7;13) to the disciples, whereas this is addressed primarily to the scribes and Pharisees (Matthew 13-36). The Twelve, who have given up everything (Matthew 16:27) to follow Jesus, will have as their reward a share in Jesus' (the Son of Man's) judging the twelve tribes of Israel (Matthew 16:28), and all who have similarly sacrificed family or property for his sake will inherit eternal life (Matthew 16:29). www.usccb.org /nab/bible/matthew/matthew19.htm   (2038 words)

John Passarella, Horror Author - Matthew's Story Matthew is scheduled for a 2nd brain surgery on June 21, 2005. Matthew was unable to walk (first due to foot surgery in December, then because of weakness in his right side after brain surgery in February) for about three months, but even after he started walking again we kept the wheelchair because his stamina only allowed him to walk short distances. Matthew's right leg, weakened by the tumor and the surgery is now stronger than his left, which is as it should be since his left foot has required two rounds of reconstructive surgery since he was born with a club foot. www.passarella.com /matthew.htm   (1876 words)

from jesus to christ: the story of the storytellers: the gospel of matthew Therefore, Matthew begins his gospel by taking all the genealogy of Jesus; he wanted to show that Jesus was the son of David, and now traces this back to Abraham. Matthew has some hesitation to show that this is also the community for the gentiles. Matthew's gospel is clearly written for a Jewish Christian audience living within the immediate proximity of the homeland itself. www.pbs.org /wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/religion/story/matthew.html   (1093 words)

USCCB - NAB - Matthew 17 Leaving aside several details of the boy's illness, he concentrates on the need for faith, not so much on the part of the boy's father (as does Mark, for Matthew omits Mark 9:22b-24) but on that of his own disciples whose inability to drive out the demon is ascribed to their little faith (Matthew 17:20). Since the Matthean Jesus normally chides his disciples for their little faith (as in Matthew 17:20), it would appear that the charge of lack of faith could not be made against them and that the reproach is addressed to unbelievers among the Jews. However in Matthew 17:20b (if you have faith the size of a mustard seed), which is certainly addressed to the disciples, they appear to have not even the smallest faith; if they had, they would have been able to cure the boy. www.nccbuscc.org /nab/bible/matthew/matthew17.htm   (1983 words)

Matthew - A Gospel for Messianic Jews Matthew's task was to tease out new interpretations of the old scripture – wrenching his references completely out of context in fact – and juxtapositioning these 'quotations' with some pithy incident in the Jesus biography which he is fabricating. Significantly, Matthew devotes rather fewer words to the fabulous resurrection than to rebutting the idea that the disciples had simply stolen the body – a tale obviously popular among the Jews when the fable was written ("This saying has been spread abroad among the Jews up to this very day" – 28.15). Matthew groups the main body of his fable into five chunks of priestly instruction, each ending with the same formula – "Now when Jesus had finished these words..." (7.28;11.1;13.53;19.1.26.1). www.jesusneverexisted.com /matthew.htm   (3249 words)

Patron Saints Index: Saint Matthew the Apostle Matthew's Gospel is given pride of place in the canon of the New Testament, and was written to convince Jewish readers that their anticipated Messiah had come in the person of Jesus. Nor should one be amazed that neglecting his wealth, he joined a band of men whose leader had, on Matthew's assessment, no riches at all. In this way Matthew could understand that Christ, who was summoning him away from earthly possessions, had incorruptible treasures of heaven in his gift. www.catholic-forum.com /saints/saintm13.htm   (372 words)
