Matthew
The book of Matthew begins with the genealogy of Jesus Christ, followed by his birth, baptism, and temptation in the wilderness. Jesus then begins his ministry, preaching repentance and the kingdom of heaven, and calling his first disciples. He teaches about the characteristics of those who will inherit the kingdom of heaven, the importance of fulfilling the law, and the need to love one's enemies. Jesus also performs various miracles, including healing the sick, casting out demons, and feeding large crowds. He teaches about the dangers of hypocrisy, the importance of forgiveness, and the need to become humble like a child to enter the kingdom of heaven. Jesus predicts his own death and resurrection, and warns his disciples about the coming tribulation and the need to be prepared for his return. The book concludes with Jesus' betrayal, arrest, trial, crucifixion, and resurrection, and his final instructions to his disciples to teach and baptize all nations in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
