Review

You do not question (our understanding is wrong) why me, why you say disgraceful things about the gods, Leuconoe, neither do the Babylonian numbers tempt you. It is better to endure anything at all! If it is the greatest valued thing on earth or if it is the greatest tribute to Jupiter, what does not oppose to weaken us dwarfs the Tyrrenhum sea, be wise, bring out the drink and briefly walk around as we retreat. Do not talk more than needed, and flee from insults: Seize the day, and have little trust in tomorrow.

The difference between Luke and Matthew in the second chapter of their books is that Luke focuses more on the annunciation to the common people whereas Matthew focuses more on the flight to Egypt and the Magi than the actual annunciation to the people. Luke shows his focus on the annunciation by talking about the angels coming to the shepherds in the field, as the shepherds were the lowest of the low in society and Matthew shows his focus of Jesus' regal person by showing that he was visited by the magi who were the more higher educated and wealthy of society. Luke constantly mentions that Jesus was born in the city of David as if to make up for what connections he did not make in his chapter one like Matthew did. Matthew also later shifts the focus to Egypt because he wants to show the Jews that Jesus is the second Israel by coming back from Egypt after being exiled their for a short while. Also in the beginning Matthew mentions Caesar while Luke mentions Augustus and Matthew also talks about the immaculate conception while Luke begins with the census by Augustus for Judea.
