Bible Question (short): How did MATTHEW know it was a prophesy? |
Question (full): Thanks Doc, What I'm wondering, though is more how MATTHEW knew that it was a messianic prophesy. Seems he could've just been trying to "fit" Jesus to a scripture and declare that it was a prophesy. Do we have any knowledge that this was a known messianic prophesy before Matthew said it was? |
