The Book of Matthew must be read through TWO times before the completion of the Course.
A Report listing the 25 prophecies presented in Matthew that were fulfilled by Christ and the apostles – you will have to take note of each of the prophecies pointed to in Matthew, and write out completely the verses in Matthew, and in the Old Testament where the prophecy was given. You are not allowed to look up on the internet, or in any other book than in the pages of Scripture for the prophecies and their fulfilment.
A chapter-by-chapter brief summary of the Book of Matthew. One sentence per chapter is sufficient. The idea is to summarize each chapter in your own words. This needs to be thought out. For example:

2. Chapter Two – etc.
3. …
4. Chapter Twenty Eight - …
