[26] [27] Alan Kirk praises Matthew for his "scribal memory competence" and "his high esteem for and careful handling of both Mark and Q", which makes claims the latter two works are significantly different in terms of theology or historical reliability dubious. [28] [29] Matthew has 600 verses in common with Mark, which is a book of only 661 ...
Chrysostom: "Here again He confirms what He has said by examples of common things; No man putteth a patch of undressed cloth into an old garment; for it taketh away its wholeness from, the garment, and the rent is made worse; which is to say, My disciples are not yet become strong, but have need of much consideration; they are not yet renewed by the Spirit.

Because when they could not bring him into the house, they carried him up to the roof, [a] although he also adds the faith of the paralytic in the group since Jesus would never have forgiven his sins, "unless he had had faith".

Chrysostom: " After His instructions He adds a miracle, which should mightily discomfit the Pharisees, because he who came to beg this miracle, was a ruler of the synagogue, and the mourning was great, for she was his only child, and of the age of twelve years, that is, when the flower of youth begins; While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came one of their chief men unto him."
Therefore Matthew and Mark have related it as said to the disciples, because so it was as much an objection against their Master whom they followed and imitated. The sense therefore is one in all, and so much the better conveyed, as the words are changed while the substance continues the same."
"Named Matthew:" Lapide notes that Matthew names himself, "both out of humility, that he might confess to the whole world that he had been a publican and a sinner," and also perhaps from gratitude, so he might make it widely known the exceeding grace of Jesus Christ to him.
