Essay 4 —“The Synoptic Gospels” The nature of the four Gospels When one opens the New Testament, he is introduced to four narratives which are concerned with the activity and teaching of Jesus of Christ. These records are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These four Gospels constitute a single literary genre and their central message is distinctive.

that Jesus was a great prophet, Elijah returned, or John the Baptist raised from the dead. King Herod was disturbed by this as Herod had been the one to order the death of John the Baptist. This event can also be found in Matthew 14:1-12 and Luke 9:7-9 and Luke 3:19-20. The passage from the Gospel of Mark in Throckmorton’s Gospel Parallels is as follows: 14King Herod heard of it, for Jesus’ name had been known. Some were saying, “John the baptizer has been raised from the dead; and for this…

The movie, The Gospel of John, follows just one gospel: The Gospel of John. The Gospel of John (film) follows exactly what the scripture says. When I looked up the movie on Netflix, I found that there are also several versions of the movie to accompany different versions of the Bible, including the New International Version, and the New King James Version. However, even though the narration of the movie follows the scripture directly, there were some scenes that were added in. For example, John…

I swung my white lightsaber again and again, harder and harder, faster and faster. The battle simulator droids responded by pushing my limits further with more aggressive movements. I screamed in frustration and sliced off their heads, frying their circuits beyond repair. I frowned as I looked what I had accomplished. Three droids destroyed in one stroke. This was a failure move. I bet the padawans could do better than this! I must do better. I knew I could. Shame on me for being so weak! If…

Matthew Many believe the Gospels should have started with Mark, because “as far as we know, [Mark] first applied the term “gospel” to a book telling the story of…

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…

There are many differences that I observed while reading the accounts of Matthew and 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,…

John chapter 8:6- 11 is part of the story of the adulteress woman. Where we all know was just a women brought by the Pharisees to try and trap Jesus. By using the law to trick him in a dilemma; as they thought that they had tricked him he had written in the sand. He said he without any sin cast the first stone. One by one they left till Jesus was left. Jesus then asks the woman “woman where are they? Has no one condemned you? She replies no. Then Jesus finishes with this “neither do I condemn…
