All four gospels written by Mark‚ Matthew‚ Luke and John all began with word of Jesus with his life works and his miracles‚ parables and teachings.

Since Mark was written to the people in Rome and Matthew was written for the Jewish people. The same also goes for Luke and John since they were also both wrote for different groups of people.

Then it talks about the three wise men visiting Herod and Jesus‚ and an angel telling Joseph to flee to Jerusalem

Borges’ use of irony is meant to show that preaching a theology or ideal
