    this pericope is in all three of the synoptic gospels they have a few key differences. One of the largest is that in the Gospel of Matthew Jesus is restoring two possessed men while in the Gospels of Luke and Mark there is only one man that is being restored. This may be to simplify because in the Gospel of Luke and Mark the demon is called Legion because they are many‚ and in order to keep with the spirit of multiple demons for people to understand Matthew simply put two men instead of one.

Matthew depicts Jesus to be the king of the

    The similarities and differences in the gospels of Mark and Luke are equivalently revealing about the authors and their purpose for the parable. Unlike Matthew‚ both of these gospels begin by asking rhetorical questions.

    many‚ and the authorship of the book of Matthew is no different. No one really knows the person responsible for writing the first gospel of the New Testament for a number of reasons. As Leon Morris points out‚ the oldest known translation of Matthew is written in Greek‚ but there is considerable agreement that the disciple Matthew did not know Greek. Additionally‚ William Hendriksen concludes that since the book of Matthew draws knowledge from the gospels of Mark and John‚ it does not seem practical
