Matthew 4:11-16

Matthew 4:11-16
“Angels came and ministered to Him.” This is a statement we pass over very easily. In what way did they minister to Him? Did they provide Him the bread He so desperately needed after a forty day fast? We…

Matthew 4:1-11

Matthew 4:1-11
Since the Father has proclaimed Jesus as “His beloved Son,” Satan immediately challenges that claim. “If you are the Son of God” is his repeated preface. This is not the only time that Jesus will be tempted. He was…

Matthew 3:1-4

Matthew 3:1-4
Each of the Gospel accounts follow the same pattern of first telling us about John the Baptist prior to showing us the work of Jesus. As in the case of any great person, especially a king, Jesus does not…

Matthew 3:1

Matthew 3:1
Chapter three is an obvious transition point in the book. Matthew has gone from Jesus being a young child to the days of John the Baptist just prior to Jesus’ baptism. Almost 30 years has transpired. For the most…

Matthew 2:19-23

Matthew 2:19-23
The fourth reference to prophecy in chapter two is unusual because there is no direct quote. Instead, Matthew says that Jesus dwelt in Nazareth “that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets….” Matthew does not refer…
