The "Gospel of Matthew"

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the "Gospel of Matthew" contains Jesus' genealogy and information about his life from birth to his miracles and parables which provide evidence that the individual known as Jesus is the son of God, the messiah. The author points out that, in the Gospel of Mathew, the many miracles performed by Jesus are related: He revived the dead and healed the blind, mute, sick, lepers and even those who were demon possessed. The paper states that, according to the Bible, Jesus spoke to his people through parables because he felt that if they were indeed righteous, they would understand with their hearts and have no problem comprehending the message being sent.

From the Paper:

""Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" These words were spoken by John, the Baptist. At the time, John the Baptist preached of repenting in the wilderness of Judah. Because of this, the people of Jerusalem, Judah, and the entire region around the Jordan came to him to be baptized. Like many others, Jesus came to be baptized by John at the Jordan. To no surprise, John tried to prevent him saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and are you coming to me?" For a righteous man like John, the Baptist to feel it necessary to be baptized by Jesus, it is obvious to the reader that Jesus was a man of great importance. These words are an indication that whether Jesus was indeed the messiah or not, he seemed to be significant enough to baptize a man that already performs baptisms for many."
