The Gospel of Matthew (The New International Commentary on the New Testament)

Product Information

The Gospel of Matthew [note 1] is the first book of the New Testament of the Bible and one of the three synoptic Gospels. It tells how Israel's Messiah, Jesus, comes to his people (the Jews) but is rejected by them and how, after his resurrection, he sends the disciples to the gentiles instead. [3] Matthew wishes to emphasize that the Jewish tradition should not be lost in a church that was increasingly becoming gentile. [4] [5] The gospel reflects the struggles and conflicts between the evangelist's community and the other Jews, particularly with its sharp criticism of the scribes and Pharisees [6] with the position that through their rejection of Christ, the Kingdom of God has been taken away from them and given instead to the church.

Mathew, with a Temperance Hall in Kinsale and a Temperance Lane in Macroom. Rather than being a “commentary on commentaries,” The Gospel of Matthew is concerned throughout with what Matthew himself meant to convey about Jesus and how he set about doing so within the cultural and historical context of first-century Palestine. France frequently draws attention to the distinctive nature of the province of Galilee and the social dynamics involved when a Galilean prophet presents himself in Jerusalem as the Messiah. The disciples ask about the future, and in his final discourse (the Olivet Discourse) Jesus speaks of the coming end. [47] There will be false Messiahs, earthquakes, and persecutions, the sun, moon, and stars will fail, but "this generation" will not pass away before all the prophecies are fulfilled. [38] The disciples must steel themselves for ministry to all the nations. At the end of the discourse, Matthew notes that Jesus has finished all his words, and attention turns to the crucifixion. [47] Conclusion: Passion, Resurrection and Great Commission (Matthew 26:2–28:20) [ edit ] In Dublin, the priest was immortalised on Dublin’s O’Connell Street, with a statue erected to Fr. Matthew in 1892. However, Dublin’s 'Matthew statue' was moved to make way for a new Luas line in 2016. Read More Related Articles

The Gospel of Matthew begins with the words "The Book of Genealogy [in Greek, 'Genesis'] of Jesus Christ", deliberately echoing the words of Genesis 2:4 [35] in the Septuagint. [note 3] The genealogy tells of Jesus's descent from Abraham and King David and the miraculous events surrounding his virgin birth, [note 4] and the infancy narrative tells of the massacre of the innocents, the flight into Egypt, and eventual journey to Nazareth.By using this service, you agree that you will only keep content for personal use, and will not openly distribute them via Dropbox, Google Drive or other file sharing services In his lifetime Fr. Mathew pioneered the alcohol abstinence movement in Ireland, which he launched in Cork in 1838. At its peak, before the famine more than 3 million people in Cork had taken "the pledge." How much of the movement's ascendancy was down to Victorian mores is debatable though. After the resurrection the remaining disciples return to Galilee, "to the mountain that Jesus had appointed", where he comes to them and tells them that he has been given "all authority in heaven and on Earth." He gives the Great Commission: "Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you". Jesus will be with them "to the very end of the age". [49] Theology [ edit ] Christology [ edit ]

On Morrisons’s Island, near the South Mall and RTE, there’s Fr. Mathew Hall (home to the Feis Maitiu on Fr. Mathew Street round the corner from Fr. Mathew Quay. Perhaps, they might even name it the Fr. Mathew Quarter. Your behaviour on being called to account for publishing such
a book caused serious division in the parish and showed ­disregard for authority.”This view is based on three arguments: (a) the setting reflects the final separation of Church and Synagogue, about 85 AD; (b) it reflects the capture of Jerusalem and destruction of the Temple by the Romans in 70 AD; (c) it uses Mark, usually dated around 70 AD, as a source. (See R. T. France (2007), The Gospel of Matthew, p. 18.) France himself is not convinced by the majority—see his Commentary, pp. 18–19. Allison adds that "Ignatius of Antioch, the Didache, and Papias—all from the first part of the second century—show knowledge of Matthew, which accordingly must have been composed before 100 CE. (See e.g. Ign., Smyrn. 1; Did. 8.2.)" See Dale Allison, "Matthew" in Muddiman and Barton's The Gospels (Oxford Bible Commentary), Oxford 2010, p.27. The bishop added: “From the ­evidence… you seemed to have clashed with parishioners in a ­manner that caused them to leave the parish distressed and offended by the way they had been treated.”
