I first heard about the gospel of John‚ but I do remember when we had a big argument about the four gospels. I was born in the Philippines and maybe around seventy to eighty percent of the people believe in Jesus Christ. I was in second year high school then when we had the biggest discussion among my friends. I got four friends and we all have different religions.

clarifications for the huge contrasts in substance and style between John’s Gospel and the Synoptic Gospels. The first (and by a wide margin the least difficult) clarification fixates on the dates in which every Gospel was recorded.

In the short story “The Gospel According to Mark”‚ Borges uses Espinosa and the Gutres to comment on the outcomes of preaching previously unknown beliefs to a group of people. However‚ the author chooses to make this statement on the matter using an ironic situation. Borges uses irony to weave a descriptive subtext that is interesting to the reader and creates interesting intertextuality between the story itself and the Gospels. Borges’ use of irony is meant to show that preaching a theology or ideal

The versions are alike yet have obvious differences as well. How can we explain these discrepancies? Do we need to? It is understandable to me why people have trouble sorting through the different versions‚ in the hopes of finding the truth
