“It tells how Israel’s messiah”

I think this line should be removed, it isn’t objective (Israel doesn’t view him as Messiah) 87.68.203.132 (talk) 20:32, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

We're not saying that Matthew's claim would be true. It is just what he claims to be true. tgeorgescu (talk) 21:24, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Explain Q

@Remsense I am confused why you keep reverting my edits. I explained what the Gospel Q is as simple as possible. How should it be explained? The wiki page for the Q source calls it “part of the common material found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke but not in the Gospels of Mark”. I called it “hypothetical sayings Gospel Q (which consists of the material Matthew shares in common with Luke)”, which is pretty similar. This is very understandable, and if you have a problem you should WP: FIXFIRST by making it understandable. 2607:B400:A00:12:F5D9:701E:F6A4:8031 (talk) 07:33, 16 December 2024 (UTC)2607:B400:A00:12:F5D9:701E:F6A4:8031

I've reverted Remsense's edit - the material on Q is reliably sourced and essential to an account of current understanding of Matthew. Please note, thought, the Q is not a gospel.Achar Sva (talk) 10:28, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

How can a statement that is literally wrong and deeply misleading be reliably sourced? Good grief. Remsense ‥ 论 10:31, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

If I understand our article correctly, it's saying that Matthew uses Mark and Q as it's sources (plus M of course). If you think this is wrong, what's your reason?Achar Sva (talk) 10:33, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

As you yourself said, calling it a gospel is wrong, ergo not what the source says, ergo not verified. To make my position clear, a version of this addition that correctly explains Q and its hypothetical relationship to Matthew would be welcomed by me.Remsense ‥ 论 10:43, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

The further I go in the is article, the more repetition I find (of points rather than wording, mostly). It needs some heavy and careful editing. Achar Sva (talk) 10:58, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
