The Gospel of St. Matthew, By John C. Fenton. ISBN 9780140204889. This book was interesting to read because it yielded much information about the Book of Matthew. It uses the text from the Revised Standard Version. It has a short introduction and then goes through the book verse by verse. It restates each verse in plain english and explains how the verse relates to other Gospels or to the old testament.

Book of Matthew, this was the New King James Version. (I wonder what they are going to call the next King James Version, New New King James Version, Newer King James Version???) The copy I read was a Gideons (orange cover) that I found on the sidewalk. It was in perfect condition so I decided to read it. I will be reading the rest of the New Testament and Psalms and Proverbs as time permits. I have read other translations before. This one is like King James, but with a slightly more modern vocabulary.
