What is the best English translation Of Gospel Of St. Matthew?

Question

Or Book Commentary

Answer 1

I like this one for its cross-references:

Answer 2

not exactly what your asking

but there is a word for word movie of Matthew using the NIV by the VIsual Bible that's pretty good called "MATTHEW"

sometimes watching the actors helps put things together and see it as a whole.. it's a little like walking into the book

I personally like the ESV as it is an essentially literal translation... but will also sometimes read other works like THE MESSAGE... not a translation but helps to get a fresh look at things

Answer 3

ya know, i'm not even sure if there is a ''best.'' that's why i use more than one bible when i'm studying. i usually read from the new king james version, and if i can't understand something, or if i simply want to see the different wording (because hebrew, greek, and aramaic are a lot more precise than english), i compare the passage(s) with the new international version. as far as commentary goes, i like www.gotquestions.org

hope that helps.

peace.

Answer 4

Well....

I use the NIV study bible......great study tool.

And it's in lamens terms for all to understand. The NIV pulls from many different translations to give it an all-around great translation.
