Letters
Evangelist whose gospel text is compared with Mark's.
It would be a task for your diligence to set forth the sayings of the Gospel and to compare with each other those of Matthew and of Mark.
Passing over, then, his own person in silence in the text of Matthew, as a thing agreed upon, the Lord said that the angels do not know, but that the Father alone knows—saying, by what is left unspoken, that the Father's knowledge is also his own, because he has said in another place, 'As the Father knows me, I also know the Father.

Evangelist whose gospel genealogy is cited as testimony to Christ's descent from David and Abraham.
