Follow Me: The Gospel According to St. Matthew While each of the evangelists ultimately tells the same story, each presents their version of the Gospel in a way that is uniquely their own.

Follow Me: The Gospel According to St. Matthew While each of the evangelists ultimately tells the same story, each presents their version of the Gospel in a way that is uniquely their own. This makes perfect sense because, afterall, these were wildly different men coming from completely varied backgrounds. Their very distinct backgrounds and ultimately their different intended audiences as well make for some distinctive differences in their retellings of the story of Jesus Christ.

Follow Me: The Gospel According to St. Matthew St. Mark—possibly only connected to Jesus in Mark 14:51-52; a cousin and co-laborer of Barnabas (and Paul) and disciple of Peter.

Follow Me: The Gospel According to St. Matthew St. Mark—possibly only connected to Jesus in Mark 14:51-52; a cousin and co-laborer of Barnabas (and Paul) and disciple of Peter. St. Luke—a Syrian physician traveled extensively with Paul on his missionary journeys.

Follow Me: The Gospel According to St. Matthew St. Mark—possibly only connected to Jesus in Mark 14:51-52; a cousin and co-laborer of Barnabas (and Paul) and disciple of Peter. St. Luke—a Syrian physician traveled extensively with Paul on his missionary journeys. St. John—one of The Twelve, “The Beloved Disciple,” a fisherman called one of the “Sons of Thunder,” the only Apostle not martyred.

Follow Me: The Gospel According to St. Matthew St. Matthew—one of the Apostles, like John, an eyewitness to much of what transpired in the life and ministry of Jesus, but not all. Matthew was a tax collector, in the eyes of most Jews a traitor and collaborator with the Roman occupiers. He was also known as Levi, the son of Alphaeus (in Mark 2:14 and Luke 5:27).

Follow Me: The Gospel According to St. Matthew Intended Audience

Follow Me: The Gospel According to St. Matthew Intended Audience St. Mark’s—most likely Roman Christians or Christians in hiding dealing with persecution.

Follow Me: The Gospel According to St. Matthew Intended Audience St. Mark’s—most likely Roman Christians or Christians in hiding dealing with persecution. St. Luke’s—ostensibly “O Theophilus,” maybe there was a larger reason.

Follow Me: The Gospel According to St. Matthew Intended Audience St. Mark’s—most likely Roman Christians or Christians in hiding dealing with persecution. St. Luke’s—ostensibly “O Theophilus,” maybe there was a larger reason. St. John’s—most likely Ephesus or Antioch, where most of the Apostle’s later ministry was centered. His message is not so audience- specific.

Follow Me: The Gospel According to St. Matthew Intended Audience St. Matthew’s—while we do not know exactly where the audience was geographically located, we do know how they were culturally located: they were JEWISH! St. Matthew’s version of the Gospel is the most Jewish version of the life of Christ.

Follow Me: The Gospel According to St. Matthew “Matthew also issued a written Gospel among the Hebrews in their own dialect, while Peter and Paul were preaching in Rome and laying the foundation of the Church. After their departure, Mark, the disciple and interpreter of Peter, did also hand down to us in writing what had been preached by Peter. Luke also, the companion of Paul, recorded in a book the Gospel preached by him. Afterwards John, the disciple of the Lord, who also had leaned upon his breast, did himself publish a Gospel during his residence at Ephesus in Asia.” Irenaeus of Lyon, ca 180AD

Follow Me: The Gospel According to St. Matthew The key to understanding St. Matthew’s approach to the life of Christ is found in Deuteronomy 18:15-18, Moses says, “The L ORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from among your brothers…. And the L ORD said to me, ‘I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him.”

Follow Me: The Gospel According to St. Matthew Now on to some “Fun Stuff”… How many of you have ever seen images like these?

Follow Me: The Gospel According to St. Matthew

Also from within it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man. Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings. As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man; each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle. Thus were their faces. Ezekiel 1: 5-6, 10-11

Follow Me: The Gospel According to St. Matthew St. Jerome gave this explanation for why each of the evangelists is represented as they are: “The first face of a man signifies Matthew, who began his narrative as though about a man: ‘The book of the generation of Jesus Christ the son of David, the son of Abraham.’…

Follow Me: The Gospel According to St. Matthew “The second face signifies Mark in whom the voice of a lion roaring in the wilderness is heard: “A voice of one shouting in the desert: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.”

Follow Me: The Gospel According to St. Matthew “The third is the face of the calf which prefigures that the evangelist Luke began with Zachariah the priest.

Follow Me: The Gospel According to St. Matthew “The fourth face signifies John the evangelist who, having taken up eagle’s wings and hastening toward higher matters, discusses the Word of God.”
