Christ Speaking -- Matthew

This list shows the "spoken version" of each verse of Christ's words in Matthew. It adds interactions with audiences, pauses, and other interactions you would see in a spoken presentation. The word order follows the order of the original Greek much more closely than other English so that the humor works correctly, especially the punch lines. This work is being done as part of a new version capturing the Gospel of Matthew from a different perspective.

Matthew 6:29...That even Solomon in all his glory
Matthew 7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread,
Matthew 6:32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things
Matthew 7:10 Or if he ask a fish,
Matthew 7:11 If you then, being evil,
Matthew 8:11 ...That many shall come from the east
Matthew 6:6 But you, when you pray, enter into your closet,
