HEAD

LEGS

In our rst lesson, we are going to look at a new method of Bible Study: Method of Analysis, which is the process of dividing

something into its parts, as we have done with this horse!


Analysis of the Gospel of Matthew

Five Steps Associated Place Chapters

Year of Preparation


Section 1: Matthew 4:12–25

Year of Popularity

So we have seen that the Year of Popularity can be very conveniently divided into six sections. We are going to

study the sections one by one (strand by strand) so we will be able to identify the theme of each one.


Note: Look at Book 1, Lesson 9A if you are not sure of this information.


Titles Chapters

Note: on completing each of the remaining five sections of our analysis in this lesson, do a similar Data Check with Supplement 1.


Section 2: Matthew, chapters 5 to 7

Section 3: Matthew, chapters 8 and 9


Titles Themes Chapters


Section 4: Matthew, chapter 10

Section 5: Matthew, chapters 11 and 12

The kingdom Jesus preached was being extended everywhere, especially through the ministry of the twelve apostles. Unfortunately, the enemies of Jesus were also increasing, as we will see in the following two chapters.


Section 6: Matthew, chapter 13

Very good! This completes our analysis of the Year of Popularity. In order to help us remember these sections of Jesus’ ministry, please do the

following practical work. It will only take a few extra minutes, but it will be a help later on in the study.
