NOTES ON MATTHEW''S GOSPEL



The Divine purpose in the Gospel by MATTHEW is to set forth the Lord as Jehovah''s King. Hence those events in His ministry are singled out and emphasized which set forth His claims as the Messiah sent to fulfill all the prophecies concerning Him. Compared with Mark and Luke, Matthew has no less than, thirty-one sections which are peculiar to his Gospel; and all more or less bearing on the King and the Kingdom, which are the special subjects of this Gospel.



I. Four events connected with His infancy:

The Visit of the Wise Men (Mat_2:1-15).

The Massacre at Bethlehem (Mat_2:16-18).

The Flight into Egypt (Mat_2:19-22).

The Return to Nazareth (Mat_2:23).



II. Ten Parables:

The Tares (Mat_13:24-30).

The Labourers in the Vineyard (Mat_20:1-16).

The Hid Treasure (Mat_13:44).

The Two Sons (Mat_21:28-32).

The Pearl (Mat_13:45).

The Marriage of the King''s Son (Mat_22:1-14).

The Drag-net (Mat_13:47).

The Ten Virgins (Mat_25:1-13).

The Unmerciful Servant (Mat_18:23-35).

The Talents (Mat_25:14-46).



III. Two Miracles:

The Two Blind Men (Mat_20:30-34).

The Coin in the Fish''s Mouth (Mat_17:24-27).



IV. Nine Special Discourses:

The Sermon on the Mount (Mat 5-7).

The Invitation to the Weary (Mat_11:28-30).

Idle Words (Mat_12:36, Mat_12:37).

The Revelation to Peter (Mat_16:17-19). See Appdx-147.

Humility and Forgiveness (Mat_18:15-35).

His Rejection of that Generation (Mat_21:43).

The Eight Woes (23. See Appdx-126).

The Prophecy on Olivet (Mat_24:1-51; Mat_25:1-46). See Appdx-155.

The Commission and Promise (Mat_28:18-20). See Appdx-167.



V. Six events in connection with His Passion:

The Conspiracy and Suicide of Judas (Mat_26:14-16; Mat_27:3-11).

The Dream of Pilate''s Wife (Mat_27:19).

The Resurrection of Saints after His Resurrection (Mat_27:52, Mat_27:53).

The suggested Plot about His Body (Mat_27:62-64).

The Watch at the Sepulchre (Mat_27:65, Mat_27:66).

The Earthquake on the Resurrection Morning (Mat_28:2).



Most of these have to do with the special object of this Gospel. The words and expressions peculiar to this Gospel have the same purpose:such as "the Kingdom of heaven", which occurs thirty-two times, and not once in any other Gospel; "Father in heaven", which occurs fifteen times in Matthew, only twice in Mark, and not once in Luke*; "son of David", ten times in Matthew, three in Mark, and three in Luke; "the end of the age", only in Matthew; "that it might be fulfilled which was spoken", nine times in Matthew, and nowhere else; "that which was spoken", or "it was spoken", fourteen times in Matthew, and nowhere else. + Altogether, Matthew has sixty references to the Old Testament, for the Law and the Prophets were fulfilled in the coming of the Messiah. The verb rheo occurs twenty times in Matthew (fourteen times of the prophets, and six times in the Sermon on the Mount, rendered "say", Mat_5:21, Mat_5:27, Mat_5:31, Mat_5:33, Mat_5:38,

Mat_5:43.).



The question of modern critics as to the source whence the Evangelists got their material does not arise; for, as in the case of Luke (Mat_1:3), it was revealed to them "from above" (Gr. anothen ); see note there. Hence the Divine purpose in Luke is to present the Lord not merely as "perfect God" (as in Luk_1:32-35 and in John); His birth and infancy in Luke''s Gospel. *Luk_11:2, "which is in heaven", being omitted by all the critical texts. See Appdx-94. VII.



+
Mark 13;14, "spoken of by Daniel the prophet", being omitted by all the critical texts See Appdx-94. VII.
