The Greek word translated as "birth" in Matthew 1:18 is γένεσις (genesis), and the same word in the

Testament book does this word make you think of? Why do you think Matthew might be invoking that

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught several things that would have seemed radical to His listeners,
but He assured them that He had not come to "destroy" (καταλῦσαι [katalysai], which in a legal sense
meant "to annul") the Law of Moses or the teachings of Israel's prophets, but instead He was doing
what? - ANSWERSTo Fulfill
The teachings in Matthew 5:21-47 are known as "the six antitheses" because Jesus takes a half-dozen

teachings? - ANSWERSStricter than the traditional teachings.
