Summary[edit]

This section should be very brief. Click the link above and to the right to edit or add content to this heading. →

Scope. Joseph Smith-Matthew is the Joseph Smith Translation of Matthew 24. This wiki page is not intended, however, to address Matthew 24. It is intended only to address the Joseph Smith Translation of Matthew 24. It is therefore suggested that readers consult the wiki page that does address Matthew 24 before viewing this page that addresses Joseph Smith-Matthew. Contributors are likewise asked to respect this distinction. The idea is that a reader should be able to find content about an original passage from Matthew 24 on the wiki page addressing that passage. This wiki page addressing Joseph Smith-Matthew should focus on added insights that come from the Joseph Smith Translation. See the article Joseph Smith Translation in The Encyclopedia of Mormonism.

Joseph Smith-Matthew is not a complete, stand alone work. Rather, it is an excerpt containing only the small portion of the Joseph Smith Translation that covers Matthew 24. It is therefore useful to consult the complete outline and page map on the wiki page for Matthew before trying to understand how the excerpt contained in Joseph Smith-Matthew is organized.

Nature of changes.

Historical setting[edit]

This heading should be brief and explain facts about the historical setting that will help a reader to understand Joseph Smith-Matthew. Click the link above and to the right to edit or add content to this heading. →

Joseph Smith-Matthew has two historical settings. It shares with Matthew 24 an ancient setting discussed at Historical Overview of the Gospels, and it shares with the Doctrine & Covenants a modern setting discussed at Historical Overview of the Restoration Scriptures.

Discussion[edit]

This section is for detailed discussion such as the meaning of a symbol, how a doctrinal point is developed throughout a passage, or insights that can be further developed in the future. Contributions may range from polished paragraphs down to a single bullet point. The focus, however, should always be on understanding the scriptural text consistent with LDS doctrine.

Unanswered questions[edit]

This section is for questions along the lines of "I still don't understand ..." Please do not be shy. The point of these questions is to identify things that still need to be addressed on this page. Click the link above and to the right to edit or add content to this heading. →

Prompts for life application[edit]

This section is for prompts that suggest ways in which a passage can influence a person's life. Prompts may be appropriate either for private self reflection or for a class discussion. Click the link above and to the right to edit or add content to this heading. →

Prompts for further study[edit]

This section is for prompts that invite us to think about a passage more deeply or in a new way. These are not necessarily questions that beg for answers, but rather prompts along the lines of "Have you ever thought about ..." Prompts are most helpful when they are developed individually, thoughtfully, and with enough background information to clearly indicate a particular direction for further study or thought.

Notes[edit]

Footnotes are not required but are encouraged for factual assertions that average readers cannot easily evaluate for themselves (such as the date of King Solomon’s death or the nuanced definition of a Greek word). In contrast, insights rarely benefit from footnoting, and the focus of this page should always remain on the scriptures themselves rather than what someone has said about them. Links are actively encouraged on all sections of this page, and links to authoritative sources (such as Strong's Bible Concordance or the Joseph Smith Papers) are preferable to footnotes.
