contains four written gospels‚ the Gospel of Mark‚ Matthew‚ Luke‚ and John. Each gospel tells the same story‚ but each paints a different picture of Jesus and relays different ideas and concerns for their readers. These differences can be a result of who each author’s intended audience is and what message they are wanting to give to their audience. All four gospels can be seen as real accounts written by real people of how four different communities interpret Jesus. The Gospel of Mark appears second

The Gospel of Luke is one of the three synoptic gospels as part of the New Testament‚ the others written by Matthew and Mark. The reason they are called synoptic is because they have many similarities‚ all-describing events of the same era in their own facts and religious interpretations. The Gospel of Luke is an account of the life of Jesus from his birth‚ teachings‚ death and resurrection. His systemized account depends on the eyewitnesses of the resurrection of Jesus and his earliest disciples

BMS 106 The Passion Many people believe that there is only one account of the Passion of Jesus Christ or they believe that each story is the same; whereas there are four separate Gospel accounts of the Passion of Our Lord. Each of these Gospel accounts supplements the others‚ however each gospel account of the crucifixion of Jesus is unique‚ not only in how the story is told but also in the events and features themselves. Matthew‚ Mark‚ Luke and John clearly present different portrayals

Created by the four Evangelists‚ each Gospel (meaning “good news”) portrays Jesus in a unique portrayal that is separate of the other three. Most likely‚ each Gospel author did this so that each particular image of Jesus presented is captured and not overlooked. Collectively‚ the main purpose of the four Gospels is to identify and acknowledge Jesus and his significance. He is the focused subject matter in the four Gospels. However‚ by focusing on one Gospel at a time‚ one by one after each other

The gospel of Mark is believed to be the earliest of the Gospels‚ and is considered to be based on the oral and written traditions of the community of Jesus’s time. Therefore‚ Mark’s account of Jesus’ healings in Capernaum can indeed be traced to stories of the actual events by people who witnessed these occurrences. The Gospel of Mark‚ is a representation of real events that took place with Jesus starting his mission. I will be focusing on some of the more influence events that took place during

The gospel to me was also about Jesus’ life‚ death and resurrection. As I was growing up I also learned about the great commission.

In some parts of the Gospel of Mark‚ Jesus is presented as divine; however in other parts he is not so divine. When Jesus is performing miracles such as healing the sick or resurrecting the dead‚ he is divine. In those instances‚ he is healing those though their belief. He also does something that no other religious leader did at the time‚ he allowed little children to be blessed. The Gospel of Mark also shows Jesus’s human side. There were times when I was reading‚ that I noticed Jesus was not as

Messiah In the Gospels the identity of the Messiah is hid‚ for a long period. Whereas the demons often reveal His identity‚ and then immediately they are silenced by Him. The demons know that Jesus is supernatural‚ while they perceive not a anthropometrical Jesus‚ but the Sanctified One‚ filled with the Holy Spirit. This supernatural knowledge also was found in Jesus (Luke 22:31-32a). According to the Gospels Jesus is the truth while Satan is the father of all lies. (BT) This contradiction is
