In his mapping Chapter 13 of Matthew is its centre, as is Mark 8:30 and the beginning of Chapter 12 of John. He then separates Luke into three parts by 9:51 and 18:14. [2] Each of the discourses has shorter parallel passages in the Gospel of Mark and the Gospel of Luke. The first discourse relates to Luke 6:20-49.
The Gospel of Matthew [a] is the first book of the New Testament of the Bible and one of the three synoptic Gospels. It tells how Israel's messiah ( Christ ), Jesus , comes to his people (the Jews) but is rejected by them and how, after his resurrection , he sends the disciples to the gentiles instead. [ 3 ]
Matthew 5:3–12 [9] includes the Beatitudes. These describe the character of the people of the Kingdom of Heaven, expressed as "blessings".

[1] [2] It compares "the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven" to a child, and also includes the parables of the lost sheep and the unforgiving servant, the second of which also refers to the Kingdom of Heaven.
The parable of the Leaven follows the parable of the Mustard Seed in Matthew and Luke, and shares the theme of the Kingdom of Heaven growing from small beginnings. [27] The parable of the Hidden Treasure and parable of the Pearl form a pair illustrating the great value of the Kingdom of Heaven , and the need for action in attaining it.
The four winged creatures symbolize, top to bottom, left to right: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Matthew the Evangelist, the author of the first gospel account, is symbolized by a winged man, or angel.
