Summary- Matthew 1-3; 5-6; 13; 27-28

A

Chapters 1-3 are the story of the birth of Jesus to His baptism. In chapters 5-6 Jesus uses many parables and even hyperboles, as was recounted in Mark as well. The parables in chapter 14 parallel those from Mark 4. Chapters 27-28 parallel Mark 15-16 and tell of Jesus’s crucifixion and of His resurrection. In this book, it is often mentioned that something was done to fulfill what a prophet had foretold.
