film sticks to the text in many parts of the movie. The film starts out with Jesus’ temptation. This story is in Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13. The film copies the story very well, but in their way. By their way, I mean their culture and how they view it. Another part is the Last Supper and Judas’ betrayal at the dinner. The Last Supper is in Matthew 26, Mark 14, Luke 22, and John 13. They put their own twist on The Last Supper. Son of Man diverges creatively from the text by the director and…
Oratorical Essay Jesus fed 5,000 people with five loaves and two fish which certainly did serve humanity in the naked eye of anyone. In three books of the Bible, Mathew, Luke and John have the same writings for such an important event in history, not only religion. In those days, it was super hard to stay alive because it was either you worked and saved or supported others or you never worked and didn’t care for others. According to the Good News Bible, it says “He welcomed them, spoke to them…
to the Roman’s sculptures, the human form does not have one true form. When one looks at the 700s, they will discover The Lindisfarne Gospels. Initially one would see this as two-dimensional art but with a closer look, they would see attempts at making the art three-dimensional. With The Lindisfarne Gospels, one will notice that there are four gospels (Matthew, Luke, Mark, and John). Focusing on Matthew’s page of the book, it is obvious how much care and detail went into the painting. The…
These disciples were to learn Jesus teaching so when he died they would go out and preach the gospel of God and save as many people from going to hell. Many have dug in deeper on the subject of the number of disciples Jesus really had. One was missing from the twelve as evidence has revealed. The research many have done have, in fact, found evidence…
discovered in the Nag Hammadi library in 1945 bears Philip's name in its title, on the bottom line. St. Philip, by Peter Paul Rubens, from his Twelve Apostles series (c. 1611), at the Museo del Prado, Madrid. The Synoptic Gospels list Philip as one of the apostles. The Gospel of John describes Philip's calling as a disciple of Jesus. Philip is described as a disciple from the city of Bethsaida, and connects him to Andrew and Peter, who were from the same town. He also was among those…
The Synoptic Gospels illustrates Jesus as an universal savior that came from the heaven as flesh. In Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Jesus is the promised Messiah from the Old Testament, the human son of God, and the universal savior, respectively. To start, Matthew, one of the twelve disciples, wrote the Gospel of Matthew for Jewish Christian. Matthew wrote this book in order to proclaim that Jesus is truly the promised Messiah that is stated in the Old Testament. Matthew proves that Jesus is the…
opposing kinds of vision in vs. 22 & 23 (Kroeker, 2009). Interesting to note that in verse 22 the word used is healthy, which in this context refers to generous, so unhealthy in verse 23 would have the opposite meaning, stingy. So, as we saw in the Luke passage above, holding on to one’s wealth does not guarantee you happiness; in fact, you “will be full of darkness” (vs. 23). Verse 24 is familiar to many, “No one can serve two masters.” Again, Mammon is again the culprit. The two masters…

amount of differences between John’s Gospel and the Synoptics. The Synoptics consist of the Gospels Matthew, Mark, and Luke. All three Gospels have a large narrative approach. They include geographical settings, extensive numbers of characters, and a considerable amount of dialogue. They also capture Jesus as teaching generally through parables and short sequences of proclamation. John’s Gospel, however, is much more drawn out and inner-directed. John’s Gospel clarifies many doctrines through…
The purpose of the synoptic Gospels is to spread the good news of Jesus Christ to as many people as possible. The writers of the Gospels do this by targeting specific audiences in each of their writings and by also presenting a very specific image of who Jesus Christ was. The Gospel of Mark, thought to be the first Gospel written, spreads the message of Jesus by presenting him as a mysterious man. Mark’s intended audience was mainly the Gentile people who would have been hearing about Jesus for…
