81 Jesus's reply to the Pharisees' question covered, He said, the whole Law. What was His answer, given in Matthew 22:37?
Answer: Love the Lord thy God

If you chose "Love thy neighbor as thyself", you were very close. Jesus said it was the second great commandment in this passage (Matthew 22:38), and it was part of the greatest commandment in another. But if one loves the Lord, he is to love his brother also, as it says in James.

82 Why did the angel of the Lord tell Joseph, Jesus' earthly father, to call his son's name "JESUS", according to Matthew 1:21?
Answer: because Mary's son would save his people from their sins

"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." The Hebrew name is derived from the same root source as Joshua, and is a composite of two Hebrew words that together mean, "Yehovah (God) Saves."

83 What does Jesus say is the greatest commandment?
Answer: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Matthew 22:37 says, "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." This was in response to the question of what was the greatest of the commandments.

Jesus then goes on to say that the second is "Love thy neighbor as thy self. If we look at the rest of the Bible, this makes sense, because if these two things are followed, the Ten Commandments will fall into place.

84 After addressing the righteous, the king turns to the other group, the putative "goats". How does the king address these in the NRSV?
Answer: "Depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels."

This passage seems to echo the words of John the Baptist in Matthew 3:12 - "His winnowing-fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing-floor and will gather his wheat into the granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire." It may also prefigure the torment described in Revelation 20:10-15, where the dead are judged and, if found wanting, thrown into the lake of fire.

Answer: They would be judged

Because God created the world and man, He is the ultimate judge. Jesus wasn't put on this earth to judge people, but to save them from their sins. In Matthew 7:1, Jesus was reminding the crowd and His disciples that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

90 The letter 'I' is for 'Immanuel'. In the New Testament, the name Immanuel is found in only the Gospel of Matthew and it's used to identify Jesus. According to Matthew 1:23, what does Immanuel mean?
Answer: God With Us

Yes, Immanuel means 'God With Us'. According to Isaiah 7:14, Immanuel would be born of a virgin, with many Christians believing this is direct reference to the Virgin Mary giving birth to Jesus. Immanuel is also spelled as Emmanuel in some versions of the Bible. The name Immanuel can be found only in Isaiah in the Old Testament and Matthew in the New Testament.
