 Gospel of St. Matthew: Chronology
If, as is widely accepted, Matthew’s gospel makes extensive use of Mark, and Mark’s gospel can probably be dated to between circa 65 ce and circa 75 ce, it follows that Matthew must clearly be assigned a date later than circa 75 ce.
Furthermore, if Matthew did indeed make extensive use of Mark, and if Mark was almost certainly not an eyewitness of the events he describes, the identification of the author with Matthew the disciple, who would have been an eyewitness, seems less than likely.

Thus, whilst both Matthew and Mark record the incident where Jesus healed the daughter of the woman from the Gentile region of Tyre and Sidon, only Matthew says that she called to Jesus: "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed." (Matt.15:22).

Thoroughly dissatisfied with the marginal notes in the Geneva Bible, she refused to allow it to be used in the churches.
The one petition of the Puritans that James granted was that a new translation of the English Bible be undertaken to settle the differences between the Geneva and the Bishops' Bibles.
James' third rule was that the Bishops' Bible was to be the basis of the translation and it was to be corrected only to bring it into greater conformity to the meaning of the original languages.

Only in Matthew does Jesus spell out guidelines for reconciliation among members of the church and promise as “where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” It is in Matthew’s Gospel that Jesus tells us that “whatever we do to the least of these” we do also to him.
Matthew’s Gospel seeks to form a community of faith in which people faithfully confess Jesus as “the Messiah and Son of God” and follow him in lives of creative and adventurous discipleship.

 The 'Kingdom of Heaven' in Matthew - Bible Truth Discussion Forum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In the gospel recorded by Matthew Jesus often uses the phrase 'the kingdom of heaven', but I sometimes find it hard to see how the phrase describes the thing Jesus is talking about.
It is important to understand just why God uses such terms in Scripture as "unquenchable fire." In the Bible, there were some judgments of God (such as in the Old Testament) in which His wrath was quenched or stopped such as in the case when Moses interceded for the rebellious Israelites in the desert.
Matthew doesn't just use the phrase 'the Kingdom of heaven' to describe being in the Kingdom itself, but how you get in.

 Bible Misprints
One of the most famous Bibles, containing an unusual rendering, is called the “Breeches Bible.” In 1560 the Geneva Bible said, in Genesis 3:7, that Adam and Eve made for themselves ‘breeches” out of fig leaves.
The “Camels Bible” of 1823 took that nickname from a misprint in Genesis 24:61 which reads, “And Rebekah arose, and her camels” instead of “her damsels.” This mistake is easily understandable when you realize that the word “camels” also is found in the same verse.
A Bible printed in Oxford, England in 1792 has been dubbed the “Denial Bible.” The very unusual substitution of the name “Philip” is made in place of “Peter” as the disciple who denied Jesus in Luke 22:34.
