Disciple

Though not a disciple of Jesus, Mark learned personally and heard personally the words of Peter, a disciple of Jesus. Mark absorbed these teachings from Peter and compiled the book of Mark roughly abound, “the 40s-60s” (Elwell & Yarbrough, 2013, p. 75). Within the city of Rome, Mark wrote this book with, “a gentile…

Whether there was famine or nothing to eat at all, both Joseph and Jesus fed thousands of people by a miracle or just planning ahead. While Joseph was in Egypt, God was with him. He gained great power after interpreting Pharaoh’s dreams and when there was famine, “the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.” So when the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians, for the…

same stories as Matthew and Luke, but it is the original. Mark was written in 70 AD, when the Jewish temple was burned down. It is speculated the author of the Gospel was John Mark, a gentile Christian, who was a follower of Peter, Jesus’ closet disciple. Because this testimony was written closest to the time of Jesus’ life and death, it is held to the highest regard and truth than the other three Gospels. A gospel is an account describing the life, death, and resurrection of…

in order from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Matthew, one of Jesus' disciples, wrote a journal during his apostleship and time he spent with Jesus. This enter book is Matthew's point of view of what he experienced with Jesus. This book was written by Matthew to the Jewish community to try and give a testimony of what he experienced with whom Matthew believes is the Messiah, Jesus. Mark, a scribe, was not one of Jesus' disciples. He took the stories and ministry of Jesus and wrote about them to…

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is considered by most Christians to be the central tenet of the Christian doctrine. The events that occurred after his crucifixion and subsequent interment in the tomb have raised numerous questions and have been the subject of debate among believers and non-believers for centuries. The Gospels of the New Testament, written in first and second centuries, are the primary source for understanding the events surrounding the resurrection of Christ. It is the limited…

openings were closed. The disciples also knew it was Him as Thomas was able to see the holes in Jesus’ body as observed in John 20:27, “Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” Jesus also had healed multiple people before He died, some were witnessed by many and some were kept private. It is nearly impossible for the 500 people to all hallucinate the exact same event. The disciples were not…

II.1 Identify at least 4 passages that consist of Luke’s editorial summaries by chapter and verse In the very first chapter of Acts, we are given the traditional elements of the resurrection: Jesus speaks to the apostles, Jesus commands them to stay in Jerusalem, and Jesus tells them to wait to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, then Jesus ascends to Heaven. Luke’s editorial summaries operate distinctively within the narrative to offer the reader his personal observations and interpretations.…

explains that the disciples are basically one with him and that if the world hates them, it is not their fault because it hated Jesus first. He makes sure they know that the world would love them if they were of this world but they are not. They were chosen by Jesus for a special purpose. This relationship is very relatable to the relationship between Christians and God. In other words, God does not care if the world hates us as long as we follow in Jesus’ path, just as the disciples do. It is a…

preaching, it is helpful to study who Peter was. Peter was a fisherman, a Jew, a Galilean, and a disciple of Jesus Christ. Peter joined the ministry of Jesus at the beginning and studied under Christ for three and half years. During his time with Christ, Peter made many mistakes, but he also had many triumphs. Peter was the only disciple to walk on water, and Peter was in the “inner circle” of Jesus’ disciples. He had the opportunity to get close to Jesus and learn everything that he could from…

This week are lesson discuss something that I would assume that most of us think we can explain. Can you explain and or describe the term faith? What if the person you were explaining faith too ask you if there is a difference between worldly faith and spiritual faith? Our lesson starts off telling us that we come pre-disposed to professing faith; the author of our lesson tells us that faith is standard issues in all human beings. When you sat down in the chair in this classroom this morning,…
