	Armenian Miniatures
		A specific type of iconography of the evangelists was adopted in Syuniq of the XIV - XV centuries, especially in Gladzor and later in Tatev as well as in a group of manuscripts related to those centers.
		Similar evangelists may be found in the miniatures of Grigor Tatevatsi (plate 6, plate 7, plate 8, plate 9), and later in the works of the Anonymous Painter of Syuniq (plate 23, plate 24, plate 25, plate 26).
		Grigor Tatevatsi and the Anonymous Painter of Syuniq were persons of bright individuality, thus each of their works is not simply a copy of the other, but an artistic embodiment of the model.

	St. Matthew the Evangelist
		Matthew was a Jew who hadn't given up on Judaism, though it seems he found himself and his group of Jesus-believing Jews increasingly marginalized from what was developing into mainstream Rabbinic Judaism.
		Matthew was written a good twenty to thirty years after Paul's letters, and indeed when Matthew presents Jesus saying, “whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same,” I can't but wonder if he has Paul and followers of Paul in mind.
		Matthew remained as a monument to what might have been, a minority report, and has proved to be an extraordinary mine of Jewish-Christian wisdom on which the church has drawn through the ages, even if not interpreted exactly as Matthew intended.

	The Gospel of Matthew
		Matthew's gospel is placed first in the canon of the New Testament, not because it was written first, some of Paul's letter's and the Gospel of Mark were written before, but because it is a bridge between the Old and New Testament.
		The main point and argument of Matthew's 28 chapters is to convince the Jews that Jesus is their Messiah King, the Anointed One, the Christ, the Son of God and founder of the kingdom of God.
		Matthew writes as a Jew to his fellow Jews to present to them the evidence for Jesus' claim to be the King of the Jews.

		Matthew has developed our understanding of Jesus by using a range of ideas or themes that, while not specifically spelt out, carry a considerable depth of meaning for the reader.
		The significance that Jesus held for Matthew could not be contained within the titles that were available and the reality was greater than the vision so he had to create a range of new descriptors or themes that enabled the reader to grasp who Jesus really was.
		Matthew then imposes on the reader the fact that for him Jesus is linked as One with the Father and the Holy Spirit as three equal persons and thus giving the reader a clear indication of the Trinitarian formula.

	St. Matthew
		The feast of the apostle and evangelist Matthew is observed in the Roman Church on September 21.
		The evangelist Mark called Matthew Levi, "the son of Alphaeus." This has led many to assert that Matthew was the brother of the apostles James the Less, who also was the son of an Alpheus.
		Matthew's strict formality, a consequence of his reserved objectivity, has caused his Gospel to be called the "academic Gospel." Its special value for Christianity today lies in its explanation concerning the Messianic kingdom.
