Bible Question: What would be considered the genre of Matthew 16:19 |
Bible Answer: Hello Mariana, Welcome to the forum :) The book of Matthew is a Gospel. In other words, a proclamation of the good news of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Matthew's primary goal was to demonstrate that Jesus Christ was in fact the Messiah prophesied of by the Jewish prophets. The words of Christ in 16:19 represents the authority of Jesus on earth and in heaven and His ascribing that authority to His church. Hope this helps, Jeff |
