Gospel of Luke

Even though the Passion Narratives of the four Gospels are very alike in numerous of ways, there are also many important differences among them.The three Synoptic Gospels correlate with one another (because Matthew and Luke go off of Mark), while John’s writings are much different, especially when it comes to chronology. Also, while Matthew and Mark are very similar to each other and almost the same, Luke is different from them and is more similar to John. In addition, an unspecified amount of…

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.…

comes to the Gospel of Matthew, there are very different perspectives when it comes to Jesus. At the time of Matthew writing his gospels, his main focus was on mainly to provide people who were in a sense “like him” to hear the great news when it came to Jesus. One of Matthews main purposes was to be able to provide everyone and anyone who wanted to listen the story of how Jesus lived, died, and then brought back; this is why the Gospel of Matthew is a matter of fact called the Gospel “according…

main character, Antipas, goes through many trials and new experiences. He relates events with Luke and minor characters through written letters. Antipas is a member of the elite social class in Rome. He currently lives in Pergamum after brief stays in Caesarea and Tyre. Antipas utilizes his servant, Stachys, to deliver correspondence between Pergamum and Ephesus. Luke is the author of the Gospel of Luke and Acts.…

The editorial summaries may be identified as the passages that punctuate the events, chronology, and other factual aspects of the narrative. Luke guides the reader through the events of the early movement and utilizes his commentary to amplify the unity, commonality, and growth of the movement. The first editorial summary can be found in Acts 1:12-13. Luke transitions from the generic to the specific by identifying the individuals by name who form the center of the movement. Significantly, found…

rising of Jairus’ daughter as Jesus makes his way to Jairus’ house. After the woman is healed, the story of Jairus’ daughter is continued and concluded. Since all three synoptic gospels keep the placement of the hemorrhaging woman in the middle of the story about Jairus’ daughter, it can be assumed that Matthew and Luke kept Mark’s original intercalation in order to preserve a theme of one or both of the stories. On the surface, the recipients of the miracles in either story hold nothing in…

is proclaimed the “Troubadour” (Messiah) by the Earthmaker (God). Throughout the story, the Singer proclaims the Star Song, the Word of God, and is in constant conflict with the World Hater (Devil). The Singer shares several similarities with the Gospel of Mark: Mark’s portrait of Jesus is “The Suffering Servant” as shown through 8:31, 9:31& 9:12 where Jesus states that the Son of Man will suffer by man. The story portrays this when the Singer is speaking to his mother about how he will suffer…

through the four New Testament Gospels: Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. Each Gospel emphasizes on particular principles that represent Jesus differently. Jesus is seen as the suffering Messiah in all four Gospels, but each Evangelist puts in his own intake, hence expanding on the original Markan portrait of Jesus. The writers of the Gospels give their own theological assertions, and understandings, which in effect creates a new portrait of Jesus for each Gospel. The Gospel portraits vary and…

Thematic Modifications Luke omits most of Mark’s material. He only keeps enough information to let his audience know where he borrows the story. In his introduction, Luke omits “Once again [he went out] along the sea. All the crowd came to him and he taught them” (Mk 2:13). In this omission, the theme of companionship between Jesus with his disciples and with the crowd was removed. Luke also removes the theological geography because “sea” is represented for chaos in Mark. Luke doesn’t want to…

Introduction In Luke 5:27-32 Luke is communicating that God cares for and seeks out sinners, however His grace can only be received when the malefactor admits that they are sick. Through the historical context, literary structure, and theology of this passage it notable that Luke is redefining what it means to be righteous. The righteous does not exist, it is the righteous savior Jesus Christ that makes Christians worthy of God’s grace. This passage takes place in Galilee, most likely at a port…
