Part of: The Parallel Bible. Old and New Testaments (KJV and Revised Version) The Gospel according to S. Matthew (KJV)

The First Gospel of the New Testament. A parallel version with the King James Version in one column and the revised Version in another column. Unlike the apostle Paul, who focused his efforts on the Gentiles of the Greco-Roman world, Matthew worked primarily among the Jewish community, as indicated by the fact that the Gospel of Matthew was originally written in Hebrew. Matthew’s Gospel is special in the emphasis it places on the New Covenant represented by Christ.
