In this episode, I am going through the Gospel account of Matthew to identify what changes he makes to his predecessor, Mark (ca. 75CE). We explore reasons for his alterations, changes and updates followed by where he found his sources.

This episode is a brief run down of the events that were taking place in Judea during the early part of the first century when the Jewish Revolutionaries decided to engage in a war with the Roman Empire.
