<p style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 18pt;"><span style="color: black;">It then says in 62 AD &ldquo;the Hebrew gospel of Matthew is rendered into Greek by an unknown translator.&rdquo; [<strong>Id.</strong>&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 24px; color: #494a44; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">at page&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Blair_s_Chronological_Tables_Revised_and/6Cc9AAAAYAAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=blair%20chronological%20table%201856&amp;pg=PA157&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;bsq=hebrew%20matthew" style="font-size: 24px; color: #517291; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">157</a>.<span style="font-size: 24px; color: #494a44; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">]</span></span><a href="file:///E:/doug/Dropbox/Writings%20in%20Process/OGM%20Final%20Files/2014%20Final%20Framemaker%20Files/True%20Master%20pp%20227%20pages%2046-48%20large%20fonts.htm#pgfId-617728"><br /></a></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 18pt;"><span style="color: black;">Subsequently, scholars began to doubt such early dating of Matthew. This arose when the notion that Mark&rsquo;s Gospel came first began to gain traction. However, in 1995 Jewish scholars brought again to light that the&nbsp;Talmud records a Jewish teacher who lived no later than 72 A.D. who quotes Jesus from a passage that appears only in Matthew&mdash;Matthew 5:16-19&mdash;which also includes a unique portion we find in the&nbsp;Shem-Tob Hebrew Matthew of the 1300s.</span><a href="file:///E:/doug/Dropbox/Writings%20in%20Process/OGM%20Final%20Files/2014%20Final%20Framemaker%20Files/True%20Master%20pp%20227%20pages%2046-48%20large%20fonts.htm#pgfId-617734">3</a><span style="color: black;">&nbsp;This has convinced modern scholars that indeed Matthew came very early in church history.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 18pt;"><span style="color: black;">In the 1999 book, <strong>Passover and Easter: Origin and History to Modern Times</strong>&nbsp;(Notre Dame Press), Israel J. Yuval of Jerusalem&rsquo;s Hebrew University revived attention to this particular Talmudic passage. It states that Gamaliel, a leader of rabbinical scholars who died around 72 AD, parodied the Pauline reading of Jesus&rsquo; gospel. Craig Blomberg, a professor of the New Testament at Denver Theological Seminary, comments that if Gamaliel quoted the Gospel of Matthew, then Matthew &ldquo;had to be before 70 AD.&rdquo; Nicholson nudges the date so this gospel is no later than 72 AD.</span><a href="file:///E:/doug/Dropbox/Writings%20in%20Process/OGM%20Final%20Files/2014%20Final%20Framemaker%20Files/True%20Master%20pp%20227%20pages%2046-48%20large%20fonts.htm#pgfId-617672">4</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 18pt;"><span style="color: black;">In Gamaliel&rsquo;s story, a daughter whose father had died offers a golden lamp as a bribe to a Christian judge known for his honesty, seeking a decision that would allow her to share her father&rsquo;s estate with her brother. When the judge suggests that dividing the estate would be proper on the basis of the &ldquo;Gospel [being] given in the place&rdquo; of Torah to supersede it,</span><a href="file:///E:/doug/Dropbox/Writings%20in%20Process/OGM%20Final%20Files/2014%20Final%20Framemaker%20Files/True%20Master%20pp%20227%20pages%2046-48%20large%20fonts.htm#pgfId-617676">5</a><span style="color: black;">&nbsp;Gamaliel argues that the son should inherit over the daughter, relying upon&nbsp;Numbers 27:8 from the Law given Moses. (Herford:149.) </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 18pt;"><span style="color: black;">Second, Gamaliel quotes a statement exclusively attributed to Jesus&rsquo; Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew. It also includes a portion of what we now know <strong>belongs to </strong>the&nbsp;Shem-Tob Hebrew&nbsp;Matthew at <strong>6:2</strong>. Gamaliel says: &ldquo;Look further in the book [i.e., the Gospel], and it is written in it, <strong>&lsquo;I have not come to take away from the Law of Moses nor add to the Law of Moses</strong>.....&rdquo;</span><a href="file:///E:/doug/Dropbox/Writings%20in%20Process/OGM%20Final%20Files/2014%20Final%20Framemaker%20Files/True%20Master%20pp%20227%20pages%2046-48%20large%20fonts.htm#pgfId-617685">6</a><span style="color: black;">&nbsp;The first part is in both the Greek and Shem-Tob Hebrew Matthew, but "nor add to the Law" is only in the Shem-Tob Hebrew Matthew at 6:2. (See Matt 6:2 OGM Vol. 1.) Based on this argument, Gamaliel wins before the Christian judge.</span></p>
