  • Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek?
    2 Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek? Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek? A Concise Compendium of the Many Internal and External Evidences of Aramaic Peshitta Primacy Publication Edition 1a, May 2008 Compiled by Raphael Christopher Lataster Edited by Ewan MacLeod Cover design by Stephen Meza © Copyright Raphael Christopher Lataster 2008 Foreword 3 Foreword A New and Powerful Tool in the Aramaic NT Primacy Movement Arises I wanted to set down a few words about my colleague and fellow Aramaicist Raphael Lataster, and his new book “Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek?” Having written two books on the subject myself, I can honestly say that there is no better free resource, both in terms of scope and level of detail, available on the Internet today. Much of the research that myself, Paul Younan and so many others have done is here, categorized conveniently by topic and issue. What Raphael though has also accomplished so expertly is to link these examples with a simple and unambiguous narrative style that leaves little doubt that the Peshitta Aramaic New Testament is in fact the original that Christians and Nazarene-Messianics have been searching for, for so long. The fact is, when Raphael decides to explore a topic, he is far from content in providing just a few examples and leaving the rest to the readers’ imagination. Instead, Raphael plumbs the depths of the Aramaic New Testament, and offers dozens of examples that speak to a particular type. Flip through the “split words” and “semi-split words” sections alone and you will see what I mean.

  • St. Matthew the Apostle

The dioceses of New Jersey have not done this until last year because of Covid. The obligation to attend Mass on the traditional Ascension Thursday was therefore moved to the Sunday. This year again, the bishops of New Jersey (i.e. The Province of Newark) have agreed to transfer the feast to replace the Seventh Sunday of Easter. They will decide over the next few months whether this move would continue for future years. Currently, it only applies to this year. This coming Thursday would normally be that Holy Day of Obligation. But it is not a holy day, and we will only have the regularly-scheduled Mass at 8:30 AM which will be Thursday of the 6th Week of Easter (we will not do readings or Mass formulas for Ascension). You are not obligated to attend Mass on Thursday. Remember, during Covid, you are not required to attend Mass anyway.

  • April 22, 2020-Wednesday, Second Week of Easter Matthew the Apostle
    April 22, 2020-Wednesday, Second Week of Easter Matthew the Apostle Matthew was a tax collector in Capernaum when Jesus called him to be a disciple. Mark and Luke call him Levi. Little is known about his life in the early Church. Tradition says he preached in Ethiopia, Parthia (modern-day Iran) and Persia, and that he was beheaded for his faith. His feast is September 21, and he is the patron saint of accountants. ******** Is Matthew the Apostle also Matthew the Evangelist? Early Christian tradition attached Matthew’s name to what is known as the “Gospel of Matthew.” However, since this Gospel appears to have been written sometime after 80 A.D., and uses a great deal of material from an earlier Gospel (that of Mark), biblical scholars think it unlikely that the author was an eyewitness of the events narrated. Toward the end of the first century, there was a tendency to attach the names of deceased apostles to various writings, because these writings preserved the apostolic tradition. I may be that the name of the apostle Matthew was given to this Gospel because it was written by someone who was part of an early Christian community evangelized by Matthew himself. ******** The Sunday Gospel readings during Cycle A (which are used this year) are generally taken from the Gospel of Matthew, especially during Ordinary Time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When Jesus had said this, he breathed on the disciples and said to them, “Receive the holy Spirit.” Jesus said to the disciples: “Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” (John 20:22-23) It is Easter Sunday evening, about 48 hours after Jesus’ death on the cross.

  • Matthew - John Schultz © - Bible-Commentaries.Com
    Matthew - John Schultz © - Bible-Commentaries.com MATTHEUS’ GOSPEL I. Author: According to The New Unger’s Bible Dictionary the name Matthew is a contraction of Mattathias, meaning: “gift of Jehovah.” The son of a certain Alphaeus surnamed Levi (Mark 2:14; Luke 5:27). It is not known whether his father was the same as the Alphaeus named as the father of James the Less, but he was probably another.” Matthew calls himself Matthew in telling the story of his call in this Gospel.1 Both Mark and Luke introduce Matthew to us as a tax collector by the name of Levi. Mark identifies him as “Levi son of Alphaeus.”2 All three Gospel record Jesus’ words: “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”3 Nelson’s Bible Dictionary observes: “Matthew is an anonymous gospel. Like other gospel titles, the title was added in the second century A.D. and reflects the tradition of a later time. How, then, did the gospel acquire its name? Writing about A.D. 130, Papias, bishop of Hierapolis in Asia Minor (modern Turkey), records, ‘Matthew collected the oracles in the Hebrew (that is, Aramaic) language, and each interpreted them as best he could.’ Until comparative studies of the gospels in modern times, the church understood ‘oracles’ to refer to the first gospel and considered Matthew, the apostle and former tax collector (9:9; 10:3), to be the author. This conclusion, however, is full of problems. Our Gospel of Matthew is written in Greek, not Aramaic (as Papias records); and no copy of an Aramaic original of the gospel has ever been found.

The New Testament is a collection of writings produced by the early church to recount the life and teachings of Jesus and give instructions on how to live as the church of Jesus Christ. Like the Old Testament, men were inspired by God to write what is contained in these writings (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:19­21). The New Testament is God’s word to us. Canon Question Why did these books make it in? Weren’t there other writings? (Gospel of Thomas, Judas, etc?) Criteria of inclusion: ● rule of faith: does the book correspond to the teaching of the church? ● Apostolicity: by an apostle or one who was close to one ● Universality: it was being used everywhere Structure The Story of Jesus:Gospels The Story of the Church: Acts The Teaching of the Church: Letters of Paul General Epistles Revelation What happened between Old and New Testaments? 539­331 BC The Persian Period (Esther) 331­164 BC The Hellenistic Period (Alexander the Great) 164­163 BC The Hasmonean (Maccabean) Period (Judas Maccabaeus) 63 BC­ 135 AD The Roman Period (Pompey, Caesars, etc) The shifts in Judaism: When sacrifices and temple worship became impossible, obedience to the law became central.

  • Feast of St. Matthew by Fr. Rick This Morning I Want to Engage Your
    Feast of St. Matthew By Fr. Rick This morning I want to engage your imagination. I want you to imagine a United States different from the one in which we currently live. Imagine our country as having been overrun by another world power and we live in subjection to that world power. It is an oppressive situation for us especially with regard to something I daresay we all treasure – freedom of speech. This world power demands of us considerable taxes which are not generally spent on services and programs for our benefit as a people. And there is no explanation given to us of how the monies are spent – transparency is not the practice of this oppressive world power. Now let’s say that there are some American citizens who, oddly enough, benefit from this oppression we feel as a people. Certainly there are collaborators at a governing level – citizens in leadership positions appointed by this foreign power to ensure no one rocks the boat. In the best practice of political-ease, they encourage us to see the benefit of the situation by saying it could be worse. But there are others who are not at this high level of leadership, yet they still benefit from our oppression. These people collect the taxes that the world power requires of us. Not only do they collect the taxes, they add a service charge for their own salary because the world power doesn’t pay them. Some of these people live in very, very nice houses and drive the most elegant upper-end automobiles.

The key is the right-hand page. On that page each day (except Sundays), we’ll walk through the Sunday Gospels of Cycle A (this year’s liturgical cycle). The left-hand page is like a buffet table with informa- tion about the Easter season, or various traditions and cus- toms, or the saint whose feast is celebrated on that particular day. This year, on Sundays and periodically throughout the week, we’ll focus on the 12 apostles. Start with either page, as you wish. The main thing is to spend some quiet time with the Lord using one of our oldest traditions of prayer called lectio divina – sacred reading.
