Revealed.... The real sources of the NEW Testament ! God did not IN spire the writers ,... Plagiarism At Best... Here is Proof! Birth of Jesus: T1: Matthew 1:2 - Isaiah 7:14 (based on Greek mistranslation): Then Isaiah said, Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you try the patience of my God also? 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. (Note: This is a mistranslation that will be addressed in the next section.) T2: Matthew 1 - Isaiah 9:6: For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Born in Bethlehem: T1: Matthew 2:5 - Micah 5:2: But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times. Escape to Egypt: T1: Matthew 2:15 - Hosea 11:1: When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. Massacre of the Innocents: T1: Matthew 2:17 - Jeremiah 31:15 T2: Matthew 2:16 - Exodus 1:22 Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: Every boy that is born to the Hebrews you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live. The Return to Nazareth: T1: Matthew 2:23 - Judges 13:5: because you will conceive and give birth to a son. No razor may be used on his head, because the boy is to be a Nazirite, set apart to God from birth, and he will begin the deliverance of Israel from the hands of the Philistines. (Note: Jesus was called a Nazorean in the gospels because he supposedly lived in a place called Nazareth, but this refers to Samson being from a Nazirite sect. The author himself made the reference however) John the Baptist Prepares the Way: T1: Matthew 3:3 - Isaiah 40:3: A voice of one calling: In the desert prepare the way for the LORD ;make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God. T3: Matthew 3:4 - 2 Kings 2:8: They replied, He was a man with a garment of hair and with a leather belt around his waist. The king said, That was Elijah the Tishbite. (Note: Matthew 3:4 says: Johns clothes were made of camels hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. Later in the story Jesus indicates that John was Elijah.) The Temptation of Jesus: T1: Matthew 4:6 - Psalm 91:11,12 T1: Matthew 4:7 - Deuteronomy 6:16 T1: Matthew 4:10 - Deuteronomy 6:13 Jesus Begins to Preach in Galilee: T1: Matthew 4:12 - Isaiah 9:1: Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the Gentiles, by the way of the sea, along the Jordan Jesus Heals the Sick: T2: Matthew 4:23 - Isaiah 53 Sermon on the Mount: T2: Matthew 5-7 - Exodus 19...: (Note: The Sermon on the Mount {which is only in the Gospel of Matthew} refers to how only Moses was allowed up the mountain in Exodus, but Jesus brings everyone up the mountain. Jesus then gives new interpretations of the Commandments and Laws {from Exodus 20...}) Jesus Heals Many: T2: Matthew 8 - Isaiah 53 Jesus Calms the Storm: T2: Matthew 8:27 - Psalm 107 28-29: Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out from their distress; he made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. Jesus Heals a Paralytic: T2: Matthew 9:6 - Isaiah 53 T2: Matthew 9:6 - Isaiah 35:5-6: Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped; then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the speechless sing for joy. Jesus Consorts with Sinners: T1: Matthew 9:12 - Hosea 6:6: For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings. A Dead Girl and a Sick Woman: T2: Matthew 9:22 - Isaiah 53 T2: Matthew 9:25 - Isaiah 26:19: But your dead will live; their bodies will rise Jesus Heals the Blind and Mute: T2: Matthew 9:29 - Isaiah 53 T2: Matthew 9:6 - Isaiah 35:5-6 Jesus Sends Out the Twelve: T2: Matthew 10 - Joshua 4:1-2 ...the LORD said to Joshua, Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe... (Note: The number 12 is used throughout the Old Testament to represent 12 people, 12 rulers, 12 tribes, 12 special objects, etc. Also, Joshua and Jesus are the same name in Hebrew.) T1: Matthew 10:34 - Micah 7:6 Jesus and John the Baptist: T2: Matthew 11:5 - Isaiah 53 T1: Matthew 11:10 - Malachi 3: See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come, says the LORD Almighty. Woe on Unrepentant Cities:: T2: Matthew 11:20 - Genesis 19 Gods Chosen Servant: T2: Matthew 12:17 - Isaiah 53 T1: Matthew 12:17 - Isaiah 42:1-4:: Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his law the islands will put their hope. Jesus and Beelzebub: T2: Matthew 12:24 - 2 Kings 1:1-4 The Sign of Jonah: T1: Matthew 12:40 - Jonah 1:17 Jesus Walks on the Water: T2: Matthew 14:25 - Isaiah 43:5-6: When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. ... For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; (Note: Walking on water was also a theme in Greek hero literature) The Demand for a Sign: T2: Matthew 16:4 - Jonah 1:17 T2: Matthew 16:1 - Genesis 19 Jesus Predicts His Death: T2: Matthew 16:21 - Isaiah 53 The Transfiguration: T2: Matthew 17:2 - Exodus 34:29: When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the LORD. T2: Matthew 17:2 - Daniel 12:2-4: Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the dome, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. But you, Daniel, keep the words secret and the book sealed until the time of the end. (Note: This shows the transfiguration as a foreshadowing of the resurrection) T2: Matthew 17:11 - Isaiah 40:3 (Note: The symbolism in the transfiguration scene also reflects stories about Moses in the Hebrew midrash, as well as typical the sun-god imagery of the Greeks. See also: Philo, On the Life of Moses II, (288) And some time afterwards, when he was about to depart from hence to heaven, to take up his abode there, and leaving this mortal life to become immortal, having been summoned by the Father, who now changed him, having previously been a double being, composed of soul and body, into the nature of a single body, transforming him wholly and entirely into a most sun-like mind;) The Healing of a Boy With a Demon: T2: Matthew 17:17 - Isaiah 53 Jesus Again Predicts His Death: T2: Matthew 20:18 - Isaiah 53 T2: Matthew 20:18 - Jonah 1:17 T2: Matthew 20:19 - Psalm 22 Two Blind Men Receive Sight: T2: Matthew 20:29 - Isaiah 53 T2: Matthew 9:6 - Isaiah 35:5 The Triumphal Entry: T1: Matthew 21:2 - Zechariah 9:9: Rejoice greatly, O daughter Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter Jerusalem! Lo, your king comes to you; triumphant and victorious is he, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. T3: Matthew 21:9 - Psalm 118:26 Jesus at the Temple: T1: Matthew 21:12 - Isaiah 56:7 ...for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations. T2: Matthew 21:12 - Zechariah 14.21: Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to the LORD Almighty, and all who come to sacrifice will take some of the pots and cook in them. And on that day there will no longer be a merchant in the house of the LORD Almighty. T2: Matthew 21:12 - Nehemiah 13:4-9: And I was very angry, and I threw all the household furniture of Tobiah out of the room [in the temple]. Then I gave orders and they cleansed the chambers, and I brought back the vessels of the house of God, with the grain-offering and the frankincense. T2: Matthew 21:12 - Hosea 9:15 Because of their sinful deeds, I will drive them out of my house. The Fig Tree Withers: T2: Matthew 21:19 - Hosea 9 1 Do not rejoice, O Israel; do not be jubilant like the other nations. For you have been unfaithful to your God; ... 7 The days of punishment are coming, the days of reckoning are at hand. Let Israel know this. Because your sins are so many and your hostility so great, the prophet is considered a fool, the inspired man a maniac. 8 The prophet, along with my God, is the watchman over Ephraim, yet snares await him on all his paths, and hostility in the house of his God. 9 They have sunk deep into corruption, as in the days of Gibeah. God will remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins. 10 When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the desert; when I saw your fathers, it was like seeing the early fruit on the fig tree. But when they came to Baal Peor, they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol and became as vile as the thing they loved. 15... Because of their sinful deeds, I will drive them out of my house. I will no longer love them; all their leaders are rebellious. 16 Ephraim is blighted, their root is withered, they yield no fruit. Even if they bear children, I will slay their cherished offspring. 17 My God will reject them because they have not obeyed him; they will be wanderers among the nations. (Note: Many scholars have interpreted the cursing of the fig tree as a metaphor for Jesus rejecting of those Jews who reject him and as a foreshadowing of his second coming and judgment. Hosea 9 provides the scriptural basis for this symbolism) Signs of the End of the Age: T3: Matthew 24 - Daniel 9:24-27: Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy. Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks. It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. After the sixty-two week, the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. He will confirm a covenant with many for one week. In the middle of the week he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. T3: Matthew 24 - Daniel 11:31, 12:11 T3: Matthew 24 - Isaiah 13:8-11 Terror will seize them, pain and anguish will grip them; they will writhe like a woman in labor. They will look aghast at each other, their faces aflame. See, the day of the LORD is coming —a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger— to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it. The stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light. I will punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins. I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless. T3: Matthew 24 - Isaiah 34 1 Come near, you nations, and listen; pay attention, you peoples! Let the earth hear, and all that is in it, the world, and all that comes out of it! 2 The LORD is angry with all nations; his wrath is upon all their armies. He will totally destroy them, he will give them over to slaughter. 3 Their slain will be thrown out, their dead bodies will send up a stench; the mountains will be soaked with their blood. 4 All the stars of the heavens will be dissolved and the sky rolled up like a scroll; all the starry host will fall like withered leaves from the vine, like shriveled figs from the fig tree. 5 My sword has drunk its fill in the heavens; see, it descends in judgment on Edom, the people I have totally destroyed. 6 The sword of the LORD is bathed in blood, it is covered with fat— the blood of lambs and goats... Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus: T2: Matthew 26:14 - Amos 2 4 This is what the LORD says: For three sins of Judah, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath]. ... 5 I will send fire upon Judah that will consume the fortresses of Jerusalem. 6 ... They sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals. ... 11 I also raised up prophets from among your sons and Nazirites from among your young men. Is this not true, people of Israel? declares the LORD. 12 But you made the Nazirites drink wine and commanded the prophets not to prophesy. 13 Now then, I will crush you as a cart crushes when loaded with grain. (Note: The distinction between Judas and Judah is a part of English translation. In the original Greek they were both written as Ioudas, thus these names were the same.) The Lords Supper: T2: Matthew 26:20 - Psalm 41:9: Even the friend whom I trusted, who ate at my table, exults in my misfortune. Jesus Predicts Peters Denial: T1: Matthew 26:31 - Zechariah 13:7: Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me! declares the LORD Almighty. Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones Jesus Prayers of the Cup at Gethsemane: T2: Matthew 26:36 - Zechariah 12:2: I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. 3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. T2: Matthew 26:36 - Psalm 16:5 LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. Jesus Arrested: T2: Matthew 26:55 - Isaiah 53:7-8: ...he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. 8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken. Peter Disowns Jesus: T1: Matthew 27:72 - Zechariah 13:7 Judas Hangs Himself: T1: Matthew 27:4-10 - Zechariah 11:12-13: T2: Matthew 27:4-10 - Jeremiah 19, Jeremiah 32 The Soldiers Mock Jesus : T3: Matthew 27:27 - Flaccus IV ; Philo (Note: The mocking of people as kings was a common practice at the time, one such event was recorded by the Jewish writer Philo, and may be the basis for the mocking of Jesus scene): (36) There was a certain madman named Carabbas ... and setting him up there on high that he might be seen by everybody, flattened out a leaf of papyrus and put it on his head instead of a diadem, and clothed the rest of his body with a common door mat instead of a cloak and instead of a scepter they put in his hand a small stick of the native papyrus which they found lying by the way side and gave to him; (38) and when, like actors in theatrical spectacles, he had received all the insignia of royal authority, and had been dressed and adorned like a king, the young men bearing sticks on their shoulders stood on each side of him instead of spear-bearers, in imitation of the bodyguards of the king, and then others came up, some as if to salute him, and others making as though they wished to plead their causes before him, and others pretending to wish to consult with him about the affairs of the state. (39) Then from the multitude of those who were standing around there arose a wonderful shout of men calling out Maris!; and this is the name by which it is said that they call the kings among the Syrians; for they knew that Agrippa [King Herod of the Jews] was by birth a Syrian, and also that he was possessed of a great district of Syria of which he was the sovereign; T3: Matthew 27:30 - Isaiah 50 The Crucifixion of Jesus: T2: Matthew 27:32-44 - Isaiah 53 T3: Matthew 27:32-44 - Psalm 22 T3: Matthew 27:32-44 - Amos 2 T3: Matthew 27:32-44 - Psalm 69 T3: Matthew 27:45 - Amos 8 The Death of Jesus: T2: Matthew 27:32-44 - Isaiah 53 T3: Matthew 27:32-44 - Psalm 22 T3: Matthew 27:32-44 - Psalm 69 T2: Matthew 27:52 - Ezekiel 37:11-13 The Burial of Jesus: T2: Matthew 26:57 - Deuteronomy 21:22-23: If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree [or plank], his corpse shall not hang all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him on the same day, for he who is hanged is the curse of God, so that you do not defile your land which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance. T2: Matthew 26:57 - Isaiah 53:9: They made his grave with the wicked and his tomb with the rich, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. (Note: Jesus was placed in the tomb of a rich man) The Resurrection T2: Matthew 28:7 - Isaiah 26:19: Your dead shall live, their corpses shall rise. O dwellers in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For your dew is a radiant dew, and the earth will give birth to those long dead. T2: Matthew 28:7 - Ezekiel 37: 1 The hand of the Lord came upon me, and he brought me out by the spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me all round them; there were very many lying in the valley, and they were very dry. 3 He said to me, ‘Mortal, can these bones live?’ I answered, ‘O Lord God, you know.’ 4 Then he said to me, ‘Prophesy to these bones, and say to them: O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: I will cause spirit to enter you, and you shall live. 6 I will lay sinews on you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put spirit in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the Lord.’ T2: Matthew 28:7 - Daniel 12:2-4: Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the dome, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. But you, Daniel, keep the words secret and the book sealed until the time of the end. (Note: The resurrection of Jesus was portrayed as a sign of the end and as proof of the time of resurrections for all people) As you can see, essentially the entire story of Jesus can be told from the writings that preceded it. The Jesus character in the Gospels is an archetypal figure drawn straight from the Hebrew scriptures, with an influence from the surrounding Greek culture as well. Because of the fact that the Gospel of Mark is the root of all the Gospels, especially the synoptic Gospels, it is interesting to note how specific scriptural references made by the author of Mark became changed and somewhat lost by the later authors who copied from the Gospel of Mark. Perhaps the best example of this is the cursing of the fig tree. The cursing of the fig tree in the Gospel of Mark is clearly based on an Old Testament scripture, but the writer of Matthew does not seem to have recognized this and lost the reference. Here is the cursing of the fig tree from the Gospel of Mark. Mark 11: 12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14 Then he said to the tree, May no one ever eat fruit from you again. And his disciples heard him say it. 15 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple area and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, Is it not written: My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations? But you have made it a den of robbers. 18 The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching. 19 When evening came, they went out of the city. 20 In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered! This entire scene is based on Hosea 9, and refers to the destruction of Israel. Hosea 9: 1 Do not rejoice, O Israel; do not be jubilant like the other nations. For you have been unfaithful to your God; ... 7 The days of punishment are coming, the days of reckoning are at hand. Let Israel know this. Because your sins are so many and your hostility so great, the prophet is considered a fool, the inspired man a man... Need i say more?
