Excerpt from The Gospel of St. Matthew Joseph, though a poor carpenter of Nazareth, was a true son of David, one of those who waited for the salvation of Israel, who had welcomed the truth set forth by Daniel, that the coming kingdom was to be a kingdom of the saints of the Most High, - not of political adventurers, as was the idea of the corrupt Judaism of the time; so he was prepared to welcome the truth that the coming Saviour was One who should deliver, not from the rule of Rome, but from the guilt and power and death of Sin.

Excerpt from A Paraphrase and Annotations Upon All the Books of the New Testament, Vol. 3 of 4: Briefly Explaining All the Difficult Places Thereof The Gospel] What the word Eba'y'ye'htov in Greek (which we render Gospel) signifies among authors, is ordinarily known, viz. From mi and aware, good news or good tidings. Thus the angel speaks of the birth of Christ, in relation to all that should follow after it, Luke ii. 10, Ebayyekc'gopat bn'iu xapdv peyqv, I bring you good tidings of great joy, i. E. Very joyful good tidings. Only in this sacred use of it there seems to be a metonymy, or figure very ordinary, whereby the word that signifies good news is set to denote the history of that good news, the birth and life and resurrection of Christ, which, all put together, is that joyful good news or tidings. As for our English word gospel, which the Saxon read gobrpel, that is compounded of God and spel; the word gob among the Saxons signifying good as well as God, and no difference being discernible in the writing of those two words among them, unless that when it is taken for God it hath an e after it. So in the treatise De Veteri Testamento, gobe yr eall gob, aelc gob C1mb op p1m, God is all good, and all good cometh of him; according to the notion of most nations, the heathens calling God Optimus, the best, and Christ, according to the Jewish notion, telling the young man that there was none good save God only. As for the other part of it, spel, it seems to signify word among the Saxons, as when b151'pe1, Deut. Xxviii. 37, and psalm lxxix. 14, signifies a byword or proverb, or, as it is still used in the north, byspell. So in the treatise De Vet. Test. Among Solomon's writings, an yr papabole 13 yr bigrpel boc, one is proverbs, i. E. Byspell book; and again, pirebomey b1grpel, byspell ofvi Annotations on The Gospel according to St. Matthew.

Excerpt from A Devotional Commentary on the Gospel of St. Matthew IN T/ze Open Sew/ell suggested the use of the Bible in devotion, and gave some illustrative passages; the plain text with the references of the rv.

Excerpt from The Gospel of St. Matthew, Vol. 1 1. "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2. Saying, Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him. 3. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. 5. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 6. And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. 7. Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. 8. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young Child; and when ye have found Him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship Him also. 9. When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. 10. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down, and worshipped Him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 12. And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way." Matthew's Gospel is the gospel of the King. It has a distinctly Jewish colouring. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Practical Commentary on the Gospel According to St. Matthew There is no History or Story in existence more charming than St. Matthew's Memorials or Memoirs of the birth, life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. A confluence of elements contributes to this charm. The Personage portrayed is undoubtedly the principal source of the interest.
