121:8.5 The [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_139#139:7._MATTHEW_LEVI Apostle Matthew] did not write this [[Gospel]]. It was written by ''Isador'', one of his [[disciples]], who had as a help in his [[work]] not only Matthew's [[personal]] remembrance of these [[events]] but also a certain [[record]] which the latter had made of the sayings of [[Jesus]] directly after the [[crucifixion]]. This [[record]] by Matthew was written in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramaic Aramaic]; Isador wrote in [[Greek]]. There was no [[intent]] to [[deceive]] in accrediting the production to Matthew. It was the [[custom]] in those days for [[pupils]] thus to [[honor]] their [[teachers]].

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luke_the_Evangelist Luke], the physician of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antioch Antioch] in Pisidia, was a [[gentile]] convert of [[Paul]], and he wrote quite a [[different]] story of [[the Master]]'s life. He began to follow [[Paul]] and learn of the life and teachings of [[Jesus]] in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/47_AD A.D. 47]. Luke preserves much of the "grace of the Lord Jesus Christ"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2nd_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Corinthians#2nd_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Corinthians.2C_XIII] in his record as he gathered up these [[facts]] from [[Paul]] and others. Luke presents [[the Master]] as "the friend of publicans and sinners."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_5] He did not formulate his many notes into the Gospel until after [[Paul]]'s death. Luke wrote in the year [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/82_AD 82] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achaea Achaia]. He planned [[three]] [[books]] dealing with the [[history]] of [[Christ]] and [[Christianity]] but died in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/90_AD A.D. 90] just before he finished the second of these works, the "[[Acts of the Apostles]]."
