Gospel of Mathew Study Bible C Tom Red Letter edition

This translation (TBIV) is the result of years of in-depth research. Difficult sentences have been simplified. It explains the meaning of the verses in context. Different points of view are presented in long commentaries and the reader is left to draw his own conclusions. This multi-color edition has words of Jesus in 'Red'. While Jesus was alive, many Jews followed his teachings. These Jews can be called the 'early Christians' or the 'rightly guided Christians'. They learned directly from the mouth of Jesus. In the early Christianity, Jesus was a Prophet and he was killed and buried but he was resurrected after 3 days and walked away from his sepulture (burial chamber) and went to Galilee, his home town, to save himself from Jewish Priests. Jesus came to bring his contemporary Jews back from Talmudic perversions ('Traditions of the Elders') to the 'Laws of Moses'. Jesus came strictly to save Jews and he did not want anything to do with non-Jews. But, Paul made Gentiles the largest group of Christians by the time of his death, in 64 AD. Matthew, Mark and Luke are similar. They indicate that Jesus preached for a year. Luke and Mathew developed genealogies to prove Jesus was a descendant of King David, and Abraham, and Adam and even God. In 325 AD, the Nicaea conference convened by Roman Emperor Constantine, adopted the Gospels attributed to Mark, Mathew, Luke and John as the Canonical (legal) Gospels.
