Matthew's Gospel was written next. Matthew was one of Jesus' disciples. He was a Jewish man that was hated by other Jews because he worked for the Roman rulers as a tax collector. Matthew tells that one day Jesus saw him sitting at his desk in the market place and said "Follow me".[44]

But the miracle of the walking on water had many other meanings, especially in that difficult period from the middle of the first century onwards when early Christianity faced hostility and persecution from Imperial tyrants. The sea miracle functioned as a metaphor for the precarious situation in which Christian churches found themselves - especially in Rome. To many Christians the Church must have felt like the fishing boat on the sea of Galilee, buffeted by strong winds and rocked by the waves.

But what the disciples didn't know was that they were about to receive help in a way they could never have imagined. Jesus stood up and rebuked the wind and sea. The disciples must have wondered who on earth Jesus was: this man who appeared able to control the elements.

And so those four portraits give us a challenge and a stimulus today to actually try to work out how we can actually tell that story of the one Jesus in different ways that are relevant for the needs of people today.

"The days are coming," declares the Lord, "when ... new wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills. I jesus na cruz will bring back my exiled people Israel; they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine."

Imediatamente, este Espírito Santo chamou Jesus para se separar dos demais e ir de modo a os desertos no lado ocidental do Mar Morto. Lá, ele deveria realizar um retiro em comunhão usando seu pai celestial por quarenta dias, isento comida nunca bebida.

The Gospels narrate the story of how God's relationship with human beings manifested itself in Jesus' life and death.

His life and death provided the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the world. The Bible teaches that humankind was separated from God through Adam's sin but was reconciled back to God through Jesus Christ's sacrifice.

Seu primeiro choro e tua primeira respiraçãeste foram em um ambiente cercado por feno e animais, em uma manjedoura. Ali o Deus eterno se fez homem.

The Gospel is written not simply to provide information about Jesus but in order to engender faith in him as Messiah and Son of God. This purpose is reflected throughout the Gospels, which are all about the twin themes of Jesus' identity and his work.

Jesus chased away all the people who were selling things. He said the chief priests and scribes had turned the temple into a den of thieves because they were making money from the poor and taking away homes from poor women who had pelo other way to pay for the temple worship.[34] Death[change

He also laid down his life and was crucified. He descended into hell and took the keys of death and hell. He resurrected from the dead.
