Luke Kelly

is a simple story with a moral or a story told to teach a lesson.” Jesus use parables all the time (frequently, consistently) to teach his disciples. “And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not to lose heart.” (Luke 11:1) Jesus used this parable to show a lesson to always pray and God will always be with them. Jesus taught in parables to get his point across and it was easier for the disciples to understand what Jesus was…

Gospels are written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to share with others the life, ministry and death of Jesus Christ. In the Gospels, there are different portrayals of the Jews that have hindered the way people read the Gospels today. A majority of the Gospel is interpreted with an anti-Semitic point of view. Anti-Semitism can be defined as the prejudice against, hatred of, or discrimination against Jews as an ethnic, religious, or racial group. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all write their…

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…

also think about the gospel values in helping people. Like Jesus Christ when helping people through miracles in readings of Luke. In the readings of Luke, Jesus let the blind see again (Luke 18: 35-43), being equal to women (Luke 10: 38-42), and seeing children in a different way (Luke 18: 15-17). It is funny to see that children of today still reflect off the readings of Luke. They are innocent, simple, and open to their perspective. I value that because being a child or having a child is a…

“We’re here to connect, love, time, death -- these three things connect every single human being on earth” the first 6 seconds into the trailer of Collateral Beauty voiced by Will Smith.

According to the…

The Synoptic Gospels are very similar in text but, speaks from their own perspectives. However, some of the major differences between the Gospel of John and the Synoptic Gospels is first the terminology. Within the Synoptic Gospels you would find many parables within the teaching. John refers to the “word” as logos meaning the preexistent Christ. The Synoptic Gospels are similar in text unlike the Book of John. The geography in the Book of John focuses on Jesus’s visit to Jerusalem to and from,…
