[@JoeF-nr6jq]

Thank you. However, I had been previous taught in college that Mark was the first Gospel. Perhaps Matthew got primacy because he was only Apostle of the synoptics?

[@palesid]

I enjoyed the reflection professor. Thanks from Saipan.

[@pascoalbarbosanoronha7641]

Is it not that Marks Gospel is written first n Mathew's gospel being better structured is placed first?

[@MarcellAditya21]

As far as I know, according to the tradition, the Gospel of Matthew first written in Hebrew/Aramaic. Then it translated to Greek. But before it translated to Greek, the Gospel of Mark is written in Greek. The Hebrew/Aramaic of St. Matthew's Gospel manuscript is lost/not survive. So that's why the manuscript of Mark's Gospel is older than Matthew's Gospel (both in Greek). But, I alse have heard the information just like you share before

[@lukedurham8212]

The gospel according to st Matthew is the Christian manifesto ! St Jerome and papias historically verify this ! Look also at the genealogy of his gospel so typically Hebrew and the hebraicism that fill his gospel . The Jews needed a gospel that was understood and written by a Jew. St Mark was not an eyewitness and he was an amanuensis of St Peter. Mark's gospel was not referred to in the same light for several centuries .

@@MarcellAditya21 So the holy spirit can protect the magisterium but didn't bother to protect the original documents?

Interesting! It is fun to also think of Matthew in The Chosen. He was very OCD! Putting it together is fascinating! A drama and scripture in one!

[@robstewart8210]

How was he ocd and what’s the chosen?

[@tafazzi-on-discord]

​@@robstewart8210 it's a live action series about the life of Jesus. Matthew takes notes.

[@robstewart8210]

@@tafazzi-on-discord ok Mathew follows Jesus closely and records what he does. Thanks just curious 🧐

[@karenabrams8986]

More storyline that hints and points toward tax dispute being the real root of the Jewish War and that their messiah was a contender for Emperor who lost and got mostly erased. I wish Ralph Ellis would dissect the Matthew character.

[@divinegracehealing8653]

The esoteric truth is we are full of self condemnation, confusion, illusion, judgement of self and others. This is because we are as old as the stars and we carry the weight (burdens) of previous incarnations that haven't been burned away. The only way past this is to be truly awakened and with great intensity do your daily spiritual practices, which includes prayer, meditation, mantra, good deeds and so on. Without these things we just accumulate more of the same and draw similar experiences against us that we carry deep within.

You would recognize them if your religion did not forbid you from reading these books. I can read your book, but why can't you read ours?
