0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | Today we dropped out on a new gospel, Matthew, and even though he's a new gospel to us in our reading plan, he's quite possibly the oldest of the four Gospels. |
0:21.0 | Most people believe this is Matthew the Apostle |
0:23.4 | slash disciple of Jesus who was a tax collector before Jesus called him. |
0:27.2 | Given his attention to numbers and money and return on investment, it seems likely. |
0:32.0 | Matthew's unique lens on Jesus is Jesus as King. |

1:10.1 | have left them out. Second, his inclusion extends beyond just gender because this genealogy |
1:16.0 | also includes Gentiles. That's any non-Jew, and it includes people with scandalous histories. |
1:22.4 | For instance, rehab had been a pagan and it includes people with scandalous histories. |
1:22.6 | For instance, rehab had been a pagan prostitute, |
1:26.1 | and we don't have time to go into all the stuff |
1:27.9 | David and Solomon did. |
1:29.5 | The message God sends in this genealogy is one of redemption. He says, you belong here in my family. |
