Hi everybody, I'm Dr. Trevan Hatch. In this podcast, I explore the Jewish context of the New Testament (especially the Gospels) and the Jesus traditions. I look at the Jewish elements in Jesus' teachings, how the authors of the Gospels utilized the Hebrew Scriptures as they composed their Gospels, what early Jews thought about a "messiah," and a host of other aspects of Jesus' Jewish world. I plan to post one new episode every week. You can also access these episodes on YouTube with visual aids: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtxAhHk24wrfPzFrMrNxcLA

In this video, I discuss the Jewish context of Jesus’ birth narratives in Matthew and Luke. I look specifically at the star and its association with the Messiah in early Jewish texts. I also explain the wise men, why Matthew includes them while Luke does not, and where the notion of foreigners visiting the Messiah comes from.
