Gospel of Luke

in scripture. For example, in Mark 2:1-12 Jesus heals a man who is paralyzed, saying “Get up, take your mat and go home”. Further, in Luke there are two accounts of Jesus raising the dead, in chapter 7 the son of the widow of Nain, and in chapter 8 the daughter of Jairus. Similarly, there are multiple accounts of Jesus conducting the “downfall of demons”, in Luke 11, Jesus encounters a man who is mute because of a demon, one he casts the demon out the man is able to speak again. In fact, “He…

Katie Colucy Professor Bussy BIBL 102 New Testament 21 January 2016 The Gospels The Gospel consists of Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John. Within these books are four different authors. The uniqueness about each book is that they are all told from different perspectives centering on the coming of Jesus, His crucifixion, and resurrection. First we start off with Mathew which was written, "between Ad 80 and 100” (Elwell and Yarbrough 65). Mathew's point of view is all about how Jesus has fulfilled…

Mark. To begin, in the Gospel of Matthew the words have to be read more slowly and capturing the meaning of the stories than in the Gospel of Mark. Second, the Gospel of Matthew focused more on the teachings of Jesus than on his actions in Gospel of Mark. Third, in my perspective the portrait of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew is a teaching savior whereas to in the Gospel of Mark just does things. To sum it up, as I do not think that the Gospel of Matthew is better than the Gospel of Mark to they…

Thematic Paper Option 2: Gospel Audiences Many people who read and study the bible today, would find the four Gospels of the New Testament to be similar in context. Although the four Gospels communicate many of the same life events of Jesus, the terminology, historic details, and cultural traditions used in each Gospel suggest the four Gospels were intended for different audiences. Analyzing the Jewish references of Matthew, the Roman traditions of Mark, the Greek mythology of Luke, and the…

The Gospels are the first four books of the New Testament in the Bible that record the good news of God’s plan for a Savior through the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Writing from before Jesus’ birth to about AD 85, each author had a particular style to communicate the life and meaning of Jesus. Though the methods may differ, each Gospel writer’s main purpose was to call people to faith (Elwell and Yarbrough 59). The book of Matthew was originally written for the Jews…

The Book of Luke: The Prodigal Son Gianni Costanzo Reese Theology 1 113-12 5/16/18 The Book of Luke: The Prodigal Son The Gospels teach many Christians today about the life and teachings of Jesus . It is a common belief that Luke wrote the third gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, but modern-day scholars believe that we cannot be positive about the identity of the author as there is no documented author in the book. Luke wrote his work while in Antioch, a city in Syria, for a…

Jones states that two Gospels in the Bible were based to accounts of eyewitnesses. The testimony of Luke claims to be of “those who were eyewitnesses from the beginning” and John’s Gospel is based on the claims of the apostle John, “ the one who saw this has testified, his testimony is true”. These Gospels use the support of eyewitnesses to push the truth. This is pointed out by Jones as he discusses Mark’s Gospel was around 70 A.D., which means that there had to be people still alive who were…

The Gospels Matthew and Luke each contain a short but elaborate birth narrative concerning Jesus’ infancy. Bonaventure’s, “The Tree of Life,” also highlights the story of the Infancy of Christ but in a more encompassing manner. This paper will provide an overview of each account and compare them to the presentation emphasized by Bonaventure. While each account has little overlap, there are important points in each that contribute to the themes the two Gospels are trying to call attention to. By…

the parables often times have the same core ideas, the different words and tones used in each of the different gospels completely change the way the parables are read. In the mustard seed parable, Matthew, Mark, Luke and Thomas all have the same essence, but the different expressions make them very distinctive. Through comparing the similarities in differences between these four Gospels, it can be deducted that similar sources and references were used in constructing the parable. The first…

Luke paints a different portrait of Jesus unlike the other gospels. Luke put emphasis on Jesus being the Messiah from the David’s lineage. Throughout the Book of Luke, emphasis was put on Jesus being the Messiah to the entire world and not just to the Jews. This was very important because many of the stories, Jesus used people who were not Jews but Gentiles. The sermon in Luke 4, transfiguration, and Jesus’ Galilean ministry paint a unique portrait of Jesus. Each event builds up the…
