That's only Matthew. Luke starts with ADAM!

Tezuka's Phoenix, huh? I should read it one day. I know it's considered one of his greatest manga with Buddha, and Budda was great.

"Poor public safety" lmao. And when she throws the bible, lol, that girl has no patience. I had a good laugh.

 

[Drbilljoe]

get you a man who can read the bible to you every night ☺️

Hmm, true

Makes sense given that back then there were no surnames and many people could share the first name, so the only way to pinpoint someone was by their family relations and/or trade.

I just realized that the mangaka isn't only familiar with Christianity in general but also biblical criticism right off the bat. That's very interesting, actually, given the general Japanese ignorance of Christian culture.

 

[alanala]

This mangaka doesn't really like writing long story huh

Why would angels follow the bibles text, when it was made by man?

 

[Galder]

too bad it's gonna end. and i'm not so sure about axing if they give them more than the usual 3 more chapters, but instead a whole volume.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[stavekoff]

for real tho phoenix owns

 

[Tocnus]

its a shame its ending soon-ish, but i guess its better than being dragged on forever

In case anyone is wondering, Matthew's recording is directed towards a Jewish-background audience, so he takes some time to establish that Jesus also had a physical connection to King David and also Abraham, which kind of physical pedigree is important to establish credibility for Jewish people, seeing as Priesthood and general authority roles were often genealogical. So while boring to us, it's intentional. A lot of things in the story of Jesus' birth in Matthew seem like random details to us but had specific meanings or callbacks to earlier Old Testament scripture.

For related reasons, many modern (especially born-again nondenominational) Christian churches will direct new Bible readers to read John first. It's a more simple retelling of Jesus' life with an emphasis on his role as a loving God and savior, so it's a lot easier to digest as well as, to some, more impactful right away.

The rabbis actually agree with the first part, but not the second.

"Torah was not given to ministering angels" - Babylonian Talmud

she should read Mark's gospel, it is intentionally fast-paced and made for non-Jewishs without requiring to know Jewish culture.
also, the writing style is more dramatic than in other gospels.

Thank you for the translationm (I can easily read another three volumes of this; but so long as Kuroha is ending things on his own terms then it's fine. I will miss this a lot though).

jesus as a shonen MC is actually kind of hilarious to imagine. he defeated satan with the ultimate talk-no-jutsu
