when Jesus is the speaker, people become silent and it’s effortless to hear, even still they do not listen to the wisdom of God. “Though hearing they do not hear or understand.” Matthew and mark are parables that are common with each other in the Gospels. They talk about Jesus in a large crowds and how people will not listen to Jesus even with silence. God put these parables out for us, so that we could understand his spiritual lessons through his stories in the bible. Mark starts off with…

contain descriptions of the birth of Jesus unlike the Gospels of Mark and John. This difference may be a result of the special Luke and special Matthew sources. Instead of the Christmas story, the Gospel of John replaces the story of Jesus’s birth with the Logos hymn not only to create a universal text, but also to emphasize the glory of Jesus as the continuous creator that allows us to accept unending life. The Logos hymn forms the Gospel into a universal text acknowledging the diverse needs…

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.…

Many atheists claim that the gospels are fiction, or myth. One specific argument they present is that the authors of the gospels actually intended for them to be read as fiction. This idea however, seems not only to be a bit far fetched, but also lacking substantial evidence for it. Parallels can be seen all throughout the world; some are related while others are merely an accidental byproduct. Dennis MacDonald, a member of the Jesus Seminar, “argues that the Gospel of Mark, upon which he…

Jesus’ ethics and morals are still crystallised for Christians today by a virtue of the gospel of Matthew, along with the other synoptic gospels, revealing a deeper understating of the portrayal of Jesus. Mathew’s Gospel is written to mainly satisfy the Jewish beliefs, this may differ to the other synoptic gospels as they all had a specific structure and style of writing to portray Jesus depending on their audience and time. Matthew’s representations of Jesus as being a teacher, a fulfiller of…

Scholars have widely agreed that the Gospel of Luke has a special focus on the concern for the poor. This concern for the poor and marginalized first becomes obvious in the account of Jesus’ birth. In the Gospel of Matthew (2:1-12), it is the Magi, wealthy men from a distant country that come to worship Jesus, while Luke tells readers about shepherds- lowly men working in the fields coming to see the baby Jesus. Also, Luke has women, Elizabeth and Mary who as the focal point of the infancy…

The purpose of the Gospels was to show how Jesus had a purpose for each people group, and how Jesus' love was reflected to each of the Gospel people groups. Matthew's Gospel was a linear Gospel in a sense that it reflected the OT and fulfilled the new testament. The prophesies from OT are directly shown through the gospel of Matthew. This book was written in 60s A.D. Mark is often overlooked because it is the shortest Gospel, and it also doesn't have the same stories that Matthew's book does.…

Money Made Me Do It (A Critique of Prodigal Son) In 1611 James, first publishes an anthology, that is now known as the Bible. The anthology consists of many diverse stories told by the Hebrews. The Bible standardizes the english language. One of the stories that the Hebrews wrote was called Prodigal Son, this is a story about a father and his two sons that are very diverse. This story shows examples of many morals that are taught. Although this story teaches many lessons, it also presents some…

All four Gospels contain different interpretations of Jesus and his teachings. However, Mark, Matthew, and Luke clearly have an underlying inspiration, especially in relation to the Gospel of John. Before focusing on the different elements in John compared to the three Synoptic Gospels, it is important to know why John is included as a Gospel if it is so different. John, like the other Gospels, is a part of the Greco-Roman genre and would be considered a biography of Jesus by ancient readers. A…

In the world today, everybody knows who Jesus Christ is. Everyone knows the Bible. Of the four gospels, Gospel of John addresses Jesus’ Judean Ministry of truth and light. It differs from and complements the Synoptic Gospels by writing style, especially in John 6: 26-59. In this passage, Jesus addresses the crowd and proclaims a radical thought, originating from the Old Testament. Jesus states that He is the new manna from heaven above; instituting what Christians call the Eucharist. With the…
