Chapter 18 of the Gospel of Matthew contains the fourth of the five Discourses of Matthew, also called the Discourse on the Church or the ecclesiastical discourse. [1] [2] It compares "the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven" to a child, and also includes the parables of the lost sheep and the unforgiving servant, the second of which also refers to the Kingdom of Heaven.
[70] The verse in Luke does differ from the contexts of the similar verses at Matthew 27:15 and Mark 15:6, where releasing a prisoner on Passover is a "habit" or "custom" of Pilate, and at John 18:39 is a custom of the Jews – but in its appearance in Luke it becomes a necessity for Pilate regardless of his habits or preferences, "to comply ...
Matthew 18:21–35. This depiction by Jan van Hemessen (c. 1556) shows the moment when the king scolds the servant. The lines before the parable itself are similar to Luke 17:3–4. The talent in this parable was worth about 6,000 denarii, so that one debt is 600,000 times as large as the other. [1]
In Matthew 16:18 Jesus then continues: And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. The word "Peter" in this verse is, in Greek, "petros", while this "rock" is "petra".
Sometimes the exactness in wording is striking, for example, Matthew 6:24 and Luke 16:13, [26] (27 and 28 Greek words respectively); Matthew 7:7–8 and Luke 11:9–10, [27] (24 Greek words each). There is sometimes commonality in order between the two, for example the Sermon on the Plain and Sermon on the Mount .
While Mark 4:33–34 [23] and Matthew 13:34–35 [24] may suggest that Jesus would only speak to the "crowds" in parables, while in private explaining everything to his disciples, some modern scholars do not support the private explanations argument and surmise that Jesus used parables as a teaching method. [25]
The Woes of the Pharisees are series of criticisms by Jesus against scribes and Pharisees recorded in Luke 11:37–54 and Matthew 23:1–39. [1] Mark 12:35–40 and Luke 20:45–47 also include warnings about scribes. Eight are listed in Matthew, and hence Matthew's version is known as the eight woes. These are found in Matthew 23 verses 13 ...
