The Gospels of Matthew and LukeMatthew chapter five is a sermon by Jesus. It tells us what perspective we should have in relationships with others and with our attitude. Those who are weak will be strong and those who cry will be comforted, tell of positive deeds or humility rewarded. Jesus makes a list of them, exalting the poor and the weak. Matthew 5:17-20 is found between the first section of what actions are right and before the section of what appears to be his version of the commandments relating to the law. He says that all will be done and judged through and by him. So he gave perspective to the humble and then judged the law. He tells people to be righteous and then tells them the way to achieve righteousness. It included removing anything from your life that took you away from Christ. If your eyes tempt you to sin, get them out. Everything you do should be done in Christ and to glorify God the Father, so anything that falls short of those things should not be done and whatever is necessary should be done to stop them. Matthew characterized Jesus in his gospel as such: He is announced by the narrator as Jesus as Christ, son of David, son of Abraham. This is not as strong, or divine, as Mark's proclamation calling Jesus as Christ, Son of God. Matthew later mentions Jesus as Son of God. Matthew uses others' response to Jesus; his/her point of view evaluated; Titles and attributes of Jesus; and his actions and words to characterize him. Matthew's Jesus is a very complex character. In the second chapter the Magi see him as the king of the Jews. Later, John calls him "one more powerful." The centurion sees Christ as a person of authority, as seen in chapter eight, and Jesus called... center of paper... obs, is said to surrender his spirit to God. This demonstrates God's presence and acceptance of the event. Luke saw Jesus' death as a triumph over death in the resurrection. All four Gospels maintained that Jesus was innocent. Luke, however, goes further than the others. Luke argued that the Roman authorities agreed that Jesus was innocent. These authorities included Pilate, Herod, and the centurion. The thief on the cross even testifies to the innocence of Jesus in Luke's gospel. Luke also does not give the exact accusations of Christ when he was brought before Pilate. He provides an example of a hanus accusation, of which the reader knows Jesus is not guilty. Luke's gospel places much of the blame on the Jews, who were the people who brought Jesus to judgment and constantly harassed Paul. From the Gospel of Luke one might gain the impression that the Jews crucified Jesus.
