The empty stone jars may have been full with water, but by that stage, the water was finished, because the guests washed their hand and feet before entering into the banquet room. Water which has been, all…

Luke Would Have Edited Mark’s Gospel There are a number of differences in the gospel accounts by Luke and Mark. The Gospel according to Luke is considered more detailed and accurate. In the event that Luke has edited the Gospel according to Mark, he would have revised its chronological order of events and separation of certain fused events. Luke would also have edited the duality writing style in Mark’s discourse (Muddiman & Barton 257). Luke would edit Mark’s Gospel because He would have done…

Point #2 – The destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in A.D. 70 is a fulfilment of Christ’s prophecy of perilous times. In moving along, we turn our attention to verse 14 of the text.
