Apostle Matthew

LoP_Mark-16.mp4

In our previous commentary, we discussed the apostles Simon Peter and the sons of Zebedee, and the epithets Petros and Boanerges which rested upon them respectively. Now we are left with nine more of the original twelve, of whom for the most part we know comparatively less, but that does not mean that there is not still much to discuss. Sometimes less is more, and a small set of interesting details concerning one apostle can reveal a volume of wisdom.

LoP_Mark-07.mp4

The miraculous deeds of Christ are a primary focus of Mark’s action-paced gospel, and thus far we have already seen examples of the casting out of demons, the lifting of maladies, the cleansing of lepers, and the raising of paralytics, but only pieces of the teachings of Christ. Now as we continue with Mark, we will see more of His discourses, beginning with His engagement with the scribes under the roof of the apostle Matthew’s home.
