Overview of the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew’s name means “Gift of the Lord”, a tax collector who left everything to follow Jesus Christ as an apostle (disciple). His former name was Levi, the tax collector. Matthew wrote the Gospel of Matthew. He wrote it for people who converted from Judaism. This Gospel demonstrates that Jesus Christ is the King and Messiah of Israel. His works support that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of all of the old testament prophecies of the coming of the Messiah.
“This book describes Jesus’s genealogy, his miraculous birth and childhood, his baptism and temptation, his ministry of healing and preaching, and finally his crucifixion and resurrection. The resurrected Jesus commissions his Apostles to “go and make disciples of all nations.” Source: Retrieved from the internet on 11/16/2021 from The New World Encyclopedia. https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Gospel_of_Matthew

Alt tag: Do people marry in Heaven?
Alt tag: #godofabrahamisaac,andjacob
OVERVIEW OF THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
Many are called and few are chosen in the parable of the marriage of the king’s son and The wedding garment. A King held a wedding feast for his son. Everyone invited could not come. He commanded his servants to go out and get people in the streets to fill the wedding hall. Many came and it was filled.
However, one man came and was not dressed properly. The king threw out the poorly dressed man. Jesus uses this story to demonstrate as it is in heaven. Many are called but few are chosen because who came did not come properly, having not done the will of God.
Jesus commands believers to pay taxes. The Pharisees go out with their disciples with the Herodians, and ask Jesus should they pay tribute to Cesar or not? Jesus knows they are trying to trap him. He said give me a coin. He takes the coin and Cesar’s picture is on it. He said, render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.
Jesus said that people in heaven do not marry. They are like angels in heaven. Note: Here it is safe to say Jesus did not have a wife on earth. His disciples, left their families to do the work of God. Jesus set an example of everything he commanded. Therefore, Jesus does not have a wife in heaven. Marriage was made for reproduction on earth and to create a family unit that operates within the intent of the will of God.
The two great commandments that all the law hang on. Matthew 22: 36 KJV 36Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment. 39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Christ is called the Son of David because Mary (Jesus’s human mother) came from the line of David and also her husband Joseph came from the lineage of King David. King David called Jesus Lord because he accepted Jesus as the Son of God as well as his Son.

Highlights Objectives for Chapter 22 -The Gospel of Matthew. What you will learn:
1. The parable of the marriage of the king’s son and the wedding garment.
1And Jesus answered and spoke unto them again by parables, and said, 2The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 3And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. 4Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. 5But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6And the remnant took his servants and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
7But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 9Go ye therefore into the highways and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
10So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
11And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: 12And he saith unto him, Friend, how came thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14For many are called, but few are chosen.
2. The question of the Pharisees about paying tribute to Caesar,
15Then went the Pharisees and took counsel on how they might entangle him in his talk. 16And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teaches the way of God in truth, neither cares thou for any man: for thou regards not the person of men. 17Tell us therefore, What thinks thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
18But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 19Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. 20And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? 21They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s. 22When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left him, and went their way.
3. The Sadducees concerning the resurrection.
23The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 24Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: 26Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. 27And last of all the woman died also. 28Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. 31But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 32I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 33And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
4. The two great commandments.
34But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 35Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment. 39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
5. Christ the son of David.
41While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. 43He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 44The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 45If David then calls him Lord, how is he his son? 46And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
