Matthew and Mark The books of Matthew and Mark are two gospels in the New Testament. There are four total gospels although. The definition of a gospel is referred to as either “good tale” or “good news” and these four gospels are autobiographies of Jesus of Nazareth. Matthew and Mark are similar but, they also are revealed contrarily in numerous ways. Matthew trusted on a lot of Mark’s wisdoms in this book about the life of Jesus and so there for made them very alike.
Matthew, who was Jewish, was hired by Rome to collect taxes in Capernaum. This is such an odd thing because Jesus called Mathew to become an apostle. Mathew inscribed to the Jewish population thinking …show more content…
Scholars consider Mark as the first gospel written. They also recognized that the other gospels after where quoted by the book of Mark. It has also been thought Matthew was written first and Mark recited Matthew, but Mark is claimed to be one of the original gospels written in 65. Proximately 65 AD would be the date. Scholars suggest that Mark’s account of the gospel was written quickly and it obviously focuses on the deeds of Christ. This could have confused a lot of people when this happened. The book seemed likely envisioned for the Romans and in demand to clarify the Jewish customs, places, and words. In the gospel of Mark, the birth of Jesus is not incorporated but it begins with Jesus baptism and ministry. All of the teachings are more shortened in this gospel, but the stories of Matthew seem to stream better than in Mark. It is surprising to see that over half of Matthew’s writing comes from the book of Mark. Matthew accepts a more typical understanding and sometimes changes the order in which Mark describes things.

Whereas, Matthew goes into superfluous details of the lessons and is descriptive of the church. What is so surprising to see is that this is the only gospel that refers to the church. Basically, Matthew integrates Mark’s teaching while adding a start and finish account. In the book of Mark there was a stress on Jesus’ phenomena so that Jesus would be seen as the Son of God. They really stressed this so that everyone would know who he was. It is agreed that Jesus came to this earth and suffered under the power of man (and women) to understand the sacrifices we go through being curious. Jesus experienced these things to communicate to us how we can in the middle of chaos turn to Jesus our savior for help. Through the death on the cross He conquered sin and death and now as disciples of Jesus we are here to claim the victory in Christ Jesus. Jesus involved the disciple James and John, “Sons of Thunder” who were close to Jesus and His lessons. This was before the resurrection when they were uncertain of what Jesus had in store for them. People were slow to catching onto the “Great news”. After Jesus did the miracle of feeding
