" Scholars have put forward several theories to explain Papias: perhaps Matthew wrote two gospels, one, now lost, in Hebrew, the other our Greek version ; or perhaps the logia was a collection of sayings rather than the gospel ; or by dialektōi Papias may have meant that Matthew wrote in the Jewish style rather than in the Hebrew language.

The author drew on three primary sources, each representing a distinct community: a hypothetical collection, or several collections, of sayings ( called " Q ", and shared with Luke ); the Gospel of Mark ; and material unique to Matthew ( called " M ", some of which may have originated with Matthew himself ).

Matthew's own Christian community may have called themselves Nazoreans, a sect mentioned by Jerome and others: like Matthew, they maintained a " high Christology " ( i. e., they stressed Jesus ' divine nature over his human-ness ), and did not demand that Gentile Christians observe all the Law.

The fathers of Christianity included those who had been disciples of Jesus such as Peter, Matthew, James and John, as well as others who may never have met him but were either influenced by accounts of his teachings such as the Gospel writers Mark and Luke, or described having spiritual revelations of his divine nature, such as Paul of Tarsus who actively encouraged the founding of Christian communities or " churches " after his conversion.

Studies of Charles Darwin's notebooks have shown that Darwin arrived separately at the idea of natural selection which he set out in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species, but it has been speculated that he may have had some half-forgotten memory from his time as a student in Edinburgh of ideas of selection in nature as set out by Hutton, and by William Charles Wells and Patrick Matthew who had both been associated with the city before publishing their ideas on the topic early in the 19th century.

" In the same way Luke may have veiled her identity precisely because he did not wish to defame one who was yet living ; he certainly does something similar in the case of St. Matthew whose identity with Levi the publican ( 5: 7 ) he conceals.

We may remark here that it seems unnecessary to hold that because Matthew and Mark say " two days before the Passover ", while John says " six days " there were, therefore, two distinct anointings following one another.

The exception for divorce at Matthew 5: 32 in the case of porneia may be a Matthean addition ; it is not present in Luke 16: 18, Mark 10: 11, or 1 Cor 7: 10 – 11 ; and in 1 Cor 7: 12 – 16, Paul gives his own exceptions to Jesus ' teaching.

Biblically this does not match three of the Gospel accounts ( Matthew, Luke, and John ) which specifically state the tomb was new and no one had ever been laid inside.
