Gospel of Luke

15-16 describes Paul’s mission as movement and intentionality. Paul’s goal of his mission is to preach the gospel (the message of Jesus Christ) to not only to the Jews, but also to Gentiles. In other words, according to Romans 1:14 and 15:19, Paul wanted to proclaim the fact that God is the true God, and Jesus is the…

Saint Luke the Evangelist is a very humble person willing to help other, especially if it is ordered by God to do so. Saint Luke has devoted his life to Christianity and Jesus, known for being a man of many crafts, and a close friend of the Apostle Paul. Luke is also known for his good relationship with the women around him, and Jesus himself. Luke was such a good servant of God and Jesus that he was allowed to have an influence on the bible, including having a book named after him. According…

Introduction to The Gospel of John and John 11:34-37 And He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.” Jesus wept. Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!” And some of them said, “Could not this Man, who opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying?” (John 11:34-37) “Jesus wept”, in itself, is the shortest verse in the entirety of the Bible. It is two words, which in a sense, have never been said prior to this moment. Two words that may…

there are people who are attempting to dissuade the Philippians from following Paul. But Paul does not seem too concerned. In fact, he states that in their attempts to defame, they actually assist him in his own mission to proclaim Christ. How the Gospel is Spread The proclamation of Christ is most powerfully made through the demonstration in one’s life. Paul is confident in his own activity that he is doing exactly what God desires and in so doing imitates Jesus. This imitation is so well done…

I Thessalonians Paper First Thessalonians is filled with encouragement which can lead readers to believe that maybe the people of Thessalonica are losing faith in a certain area. Paul is encouraging the Christians to hold fast in their faith and to not give in to the ways of sin.

NBST 515 DB Forum #2 Word Count 796 In the Synoptic Gospels there are astounding similarities in both framework and wording. Likewise, there are variations in the detailing, structure, and syntactical shifts. It is without question that the Synoptic Gospels embrace an interdependency both orally and written. In Synoptic Exercise 1, “the healing of the man with a withered hand”, the synoptic narratives’ outline and overall message deduce an identical outcome with a noticeable pattern which…

Exegesis and Hermaneutics: How to Interpret the Gospels and Epistles Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the four Gospels which contain the rich history of Jesus ' life, death and Resurrection, which is the Good News that we as His follower 's need to share with other people (New International Version, Matthew 5:14-16).

portrayed in the Gospel according to Mark. I will seek to examine whether the religious teachings introduced, or actions displayed by Jesus were at odds with contemporary Greco-Roman and Jewish traditional practice. I will argue that Jesus as represented in the Gospel of Mark was, in both action and doctrine, the antithesis of what the Greek scholar, Celsus, would idealize as proper religious practice. To explain and defend my stance I will conduct a cross-textual analysis of the Gospel of Mark…

The two passages from the synoptic gospels, Matthew 15:21-28 and Mark 7:24-30, both create accounts of an event that occurred somewhere throughout the life and ministry of Jesus. Though these two synoptic gospels tend to be very similar in terms of the story and memoir, but they differentiate in the syntax, mood, phrasing, and the style of writing. Among these two passages from both of these gospels, it is clear that Matthew did not copy the writings of Mark’s gospel from word to word but rather…
