The Gospel According to Matthew and the Gospel According to Luke offer detailed accounts of the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. These gospels‚ as well as the Gospel According to Mark‚ are collectively known as the “synoptic gospels” because of their shared traditions and stories. It is from this trio of works‚ all written some 2‚000 years ago‚ that the teachings of the otherwise obscure figure of Jesus are able to be revealed to contemporary readers.

verses of St. John’s Gospel was also the most detrimental. At some moments‚ comparing my own translation to others could lead to a better understanding of the overall passage‚ but it could also become more muddled if the other translator and I had different ideas as to what the original text meant.

When you look at the definition of each word‚ a kingdom is a nation having as supreme ruler a king and/or queen. A kingship is the dignity‚ rank or office of a king; the state of being a king. It has been stated throughout the Bible (though more specifically mentioned in the book of Revelation) that the Kingdom of God is a place where all of
