Comparing Jesus In The Book Of Matthew, Mark, Luke, And John
In each book of the Gospel, it is clearly shown that every purpose and experience is uniquely displayed. Though Mark not being an eyewitness, each Gospel that was written is accurate and shows Jesus Christ in many different lights. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John all show who Jesus really is by sharing stories, while giving us examples how our lives should be lived.

He is also believed to have personally know Mary, the mother of Jesus. He tells more of her life more than any other Gospel. He is also the only one who tells about the birth of John the Baptist and his parents. Without the book of Luke, we have very little knowledge of Mary or John the
