The chapter continues a discourse commenced at Matthew 24:3 where the disciples come to Jesus to speak "privately". [6] The Parable of the Ten Virgins (verses 1-13) and the Parable of the Talents (verses 14-30) are both unique to Matthew, [7] but the Parable of the Talents has a corollary in Luke 19:11-27.
The setting of the parable of the talents in Matthew 25 is the Mt. Olivet discourse. In Matthew 24–25, the overall theme is end-time events, warning, and parables. "The direct cautions and warnings (Matthew 24:42, Matthew 24:44; Matthew 25:13) must be for the disciples (his audience)—warnings to be watchful and to be ready for Christ's coming".
The Olivet Discourse or Olivet prophecy is a biblical passage found in the Synoptic Gospels in Matthew 24 and 25, Mark 13, and Luke 21.It is also known as the Little Apocalypse because it includes the use of apocalyptic language, and it includes Jesus's warning to his followers that they will suffer tribulation and persecution before the ultimate triumph of the Kingdom of God.

Matthew 8 is the eighth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament and continues the narrative about Jesus' ministry in Galilee previously described in Matthew 4:23–25. It follows on from the Sermon on the Mount , noting in its opening verse that Jesus had come down from the mountain where he had been teaching.
The New King James Version (NKJV) organises this chapter as follows: The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20:1–16) Jesus a Third Time Predicts His Death and Resurrection (Matthew 20:17–19; Mark 10:32–34; Luke 18:31–34) Greatness is Serving (Matthew 20:20–28) Two Blind Men Receive Their Sight (Matthew 20:29–34).
This verse reads 'I am Christ', lacking the definite article, in the Geneva Bible (1599), [11] the King James Version, [12] and the New Matthew Bible [13] (a modernised version of the New Testament of William Tyndale). [14] Carr (1882 onwards) observes that "the Christ, the Messiah" is correct, departing from the King James Version then in use. [2]
