The present order of our gospels is known as the Augustinian order.

Matthew is the only gospel to mention the word "church".

The terms "son of David" is not a Messianic title.

A genealogy may seem to us as a strange way to begin a book, but it was very important to the Jews.

The mention of the women listed in the genealogy of Matthew 1 is no irregularity since women had the same legal rights as men in Jesus' day.

Matthews intent in Chapter 1 was to show that Jesus is not the legitimate heir to the throne of David, but to the throne of God.

Luke's genealogy has 77 names while Matthew has only 42.

When Adam sinned, he attempted to hide from God, but God came after the straying sinner and asked Adam where he was.  Now the answer to the sin problem brought about by Adam is found in the question asked by the Magi, "Where is He . . .".

After Jesus was baptized, He went immediately out of the water.  There was no confession of sins for Him as was the case with others who were baptized.

In Chapter 4, Jesus is not only tempted by the devil as to whether He's the son of God, but as the son of David and as the son of Abraham.

The Beatitudes are not to be interpreted as expected behavior in today's society, but rather as expected behavior in the kingdom age still to come.

The last verse of Chapter 5 sums up Jesus' teachings on discipleship in one all-embracing demand:  We are to be like our Father in Heaven.

In Chapter 6, Jesus teaches us how to give, how to pray, but not how to fast. 

In Matthew 7:22 we read, "Many will say to me in that day . . ."  in reference to the day of resurrection.

There are 10 miracles listed in Chapter 8.

The fact that Jesus called a tax collector to be His disciple was scandalous to the Jewish community of that day.

In Matthew 9:13, Jesus says, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice."   By saying this Jesus does not deny the validity of sacrifice, but is speaking about the danger of religious ritualism that is all external.

The only required fast in the Old Testament was for the Day of Atonement.

The healing of the mute, demon-possessed man in Matthew 9:32-34 shows that Jesus' authority extends to both the natural and supernatural realm at the same time.

In the calling of the disciples found in Matthew 10, the author, Matthew, lists himself first.

After the 12 disciples are commissioned in Chapter 10, they are given instructions for their immediate ministry and Jesus sent them out forthwith.

John the Baptist never doubted the things he had said about Jesus.

The Pharisees, in partnership with the scribes, asked Jesus to show them a sign.  He told them the only sign they would receive would be that of the prophet Elijah.

Chapter 13 marks an important transition in Jesus' ministry.  Now rejected by the people, He begins to speak in parables, giving 8 in this chapter alone.  Only two of them were explained.

As the people of Nazareth had a wrong understanding of the identity of Jesus, so did King Herod, believing that Jesus was the resurrected John the Baptist.

Apart from the resurrection, the only miracle recorded in all four gospels is the feeding of the 5,000 mentioned in Matthew 14:13-21.

The crowd of 5,000 fed in Matthew 14 is different from the crowd of 4,000 fed in Chapter 15 in that this time the crowd was composed of Gentiles, not Jews.

Jesus acknowledges Peter's confession that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, by promising Peter the keys to the kingdom of Heaven.

At the transfiguration, six people were present:  Jesus, Elijah, Noah, James, John, and Matthew.

According to Matthew 18, true greatness does not begin in humbling oneself, but in knowing your authority in Christ.

Matthew 19 lists only one reason for divorce -- marital unfaithfulness.

The parable of the workers in the vineyard (Matthew 20) shows that God's rewards are based on grace and not works.

In Matthew 21:10 we read, " . . . when He entered Jerusalem, the whole city was shaken."  This same phrase is used when the wise men came at the birth of Jesus.

Jesus cursing the fig tree is symbolic gesture against the hypocrisy of the people.

In Chapter 22, Jesus asks the religious leaders a question about David's son and they are unable to answer Him.  After this confrontation, the religous leaders asked Him no further questions.

In Chapter 23, Jesus listed 10 specific woes against the religious leaders of that day.

The Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24) is called such because Jesus gave it while sitting on the Mount of Olives.

In Chapter 24, Jesus presents a list of signs that will characterize the age before His second coming.  The first omen is that there will be wars and rumors of wars.

When the Bbile refers in Matthew 24:14 that "this gospel of the kingdom will be preached into all the world as a testimony unto all the nations", it means that the gospel will be spread worldwide without any geographical or racial distinction.

Complete this statement from Matthew 24:35, "The heaven and the earth will pass away, but my _________ will never ever pass away."

Matthew 25:31-46 speaks of a final judgment of the nations where the people are separated as sheep are from _________.

Matthew 27:6, in referring to Judas returning the money he received to betray Jesus, reads, "It is not lawful for us to place it into the treasury, since it is _________ money."

In Matthew 27:26 we read that Jesus was flogged.  Thisflogging was fatal to many prisoners.  It consisted of a metal-tipped whip known as the ________________ which would rip into the flesh of the victim's back.

After Jesus' resurrection and before His ascension, He commands the disciples to go into all the world and make _________________ and this gospel according to Matthew ends with the promise of Jesus to be with them always.
