| Matthew 1:21 | "She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins" |
| Review: Mark- Pt.1 | Mark is written like an ancient bios (a life story) but is a God-story. -Mark 1:15: Jesus first public announcement is about the Kingdom of God. |
| Review: Mark- Pt.2 | -Place of writing: some scholars say Rome, since 1 Peter 5:13 uses Babylon as a code name for Rome. Others say Galilee or Syria. -Mark 13:1-2: Jesus predicts the destruction of the Temple. This helps date the book. |
| Review: Mark- Pt.3 | Mark 15:39: a Roman centurion, not a disciple, calls Jesus the Son of God. |
| Review Matthew- Pt.1 | Dating: Ignatius of Antioch and the Didache both already knew Matthew, so Matthew had to be written before them. Audience: most likely Syrian Antioch. |
| Review Matthew- Pt.2 | Matthew uses about 90% of Mark but reworks it. "M" is material found only in Matthew. The Magi story is one example. |
| Matthew Programmatic Statement | Matthew 1:21 |
| 4 community conflicts: Matthew | Jewish rejection of Jesus, a ferocious denunciation of the Pharisees, a defense against the kinds of criticisms that Jews were making against Jewish Christians, and an alternative vision for Israel based on the fulfillment in Jesus of the hope of Israel |
