Excerpt from A Commentary on the New Testament, Vol. 1: Matthew, Mark I'm; word Gospel literally signifies good news, or, a joyful message. It is now almost exclusively applied to the doctrines of the New Testament; or, by a common figure, to the New Testament itself, especially to the first four books, namely, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Matthew, the writer of this Gospel, was one of the twelve apostles his call is recorded by himself, in ch. Ix. 9 and by Mark, in ch. Ii. 14, where he is called Levi the son of Alpheus. Of his labors as an apostle, and the time and manner of his death, little is known. He is represented, by some ancient writers, to have suffered martyrdom; but the evidence rests on tradition only. Critics have disputed concerning the true date of this Gospel. Some suppose it was written as early as A. D. 37; others, as late as A. D. 61. Home suggests, that, as the weight of evidence is in favor of Saint Mat thew's having composed his 'gospel in Hebrew and Greek, we may refer the early date of A. D. 37 or 38 to the former, and A. D. 61 to the latter. Introd. IV. 234. It has stood at the beginning of the New Testament, from the time when the books were first arranged; which is, in itself, an argu ment in favor of its early date, or, at_least, that it was then supposed to have been written before either of the other three.
