Hello! I am somebody new to the faith, after a period of athieism, and somebody who has returned to the way of the Lord, I’ve done something I’ve never done before. I decided to sit down and read the New Testament. Front to back. Currently I’ve only gotten through the Gospel of Mathew, but I noticed something was missing. Everybody I’ve talked to about Jesus constistently says he died at Calgary for our sins, but Mathew says nothing of this. WiIl this statement appear in the other 3 gospels? If not, where did this revelation come from?
 
Greetings and welcom to CAF…

1 Corinthians 15 and Romans 4.

Peace!!!

There are instances where Jesus alludes to this, and this is how the church interprets it for the last 2000 years. For instance (and this is not verbatim) but Christ alludes to the good shepherd laying down his life for his sheep.
DD, keep reading the New Testament. Try also to get ahold of some good commentaries. I don’t think you will find anything in any gospel where Jesus Himself says " I have come to die for your sins" in those exact words. But everything else speaks to this idea. Hope you find all your answers
Shalom
 
Welcome Home!

I think you will see this more clearly explained in John’s Gospel and Paul’s Epistles. Keep reading through the NT…that is an excellent idea. But you would also benefit from reading in the Catechism, also, probably starting with the sections about Jesus.

God bless!
 
’ and they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the scroll and to open its seals, for thou wast slain and by thy blood didst ransom men for God from every tribe and tongue and people and nation’ - Rev 5:9
 
Isaiah 53 is a good one, especially verses 4-5, which says “Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed”.
 
I don’t think it’s as simple as Jesus directly saying he would die for our sins. Rather, in typical Jesus fashion, he repeatedly alludes to it. Think “this is my body which will be given up for you” or “no one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
 
Matthew 27: And He took a cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, saying, "Drink of it, all of you. 28: for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
 
He’s actually talking about Jesus’s trip to Canada in Testament 3: The Search for More Salvation.
