The Book of Matthew (2020 edition): Our Loving King

by Brian Simmons

The book of Matthew is the gospel of our eternal King that narrates the story of Jesus. It establishes him as a direct descendant of King David, preserving and fulfilling his royal line as the rightful heir as well as a descendant of Abraham, the father of Israel.
 
As the first book of the New Testament, Matthew connects the past with the present and the future. It reveals the person of Jesus and his heavenly kingdom realm and teaches us how to live as citizens of that realm.
 
The Gospel of Matthew brings before our eyes the power and majesty of our loving King, who offers every person access to an eternal, heavenly realm free from the consequences of sin and an oasis to refresh our lives.
 
“Ask, and the gift is yours. Seek, and you’ll discover. Knock, and the door will be opened for you.”
Matthew 7:7

Beautiful translation

The passion translation does a great job of reorganizing he Hebrew and Greek translations into modern text. I like reading this version With the amplified to get the full picture and have found the passion translation to ring true

Intimate and intense translation. The book absorbed me as if I were there. I've read Matthew numerous times a year over the past 35 years, this translation spoke to my heart and soul. I read just bits at a time so I could savory the words and let them take root in my mind and soul.
