question of paying taxes to Caesar is posed to Jesus appears in all three Synoptic Gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Each Synoptic has a different way of describing Jesus Christ’s works and integrity that may impact the interpretation of the story. Also, Jesus’ answer in the Synoptics are quite similar but nevertheless, has a meaningful influence on today’s American audience. Throughout the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus is referred to as a teacher. A teacher is who Jesus is called by the Pharisees…

group, and how Jesus' love was reflected to each of the Gospel people groups. Matthew's Gospel was a linear Gospel in a sense that it reflected the OT and fulfilled the new testament. The prophesies from OT are directly shown through the gospel of Matthew. This book was written in 60s A.D. Mark is often overlooked because it is the shortest Gospel, and it also doesn't have the same stories that Matthew's book does. Mark's message was written to show that Jesus was not only a servant, but he was…

Finally N.T. Wright ends his book with what can easily be deemed the most spectacular chapter (ch. 8) in this already well-rounded book. The first issue addressed in this chapter is the relationship between Jesus and Paul. In an elegant manner, N.T. Wright uses the metaphor of Jesus being a composer, while Paul is a conductor. Christ wrote the music, while Paul merely applied the music. Paul’s purpose has been to play the original music created by Jesus, not write his own. In this way, they both…

When looking at the whole of Mark it is important to note that Jesus does not mention his destination until 10:32 to only arrive in Jerusalem at the beginning of Mark 11. This is to say that there is not much text devoted to the journey to the Holy City as compared to Jesus’ ministry in Galilee. Although there is still a short span of text Mark gives the reader hints of what is to come throughout the Gospel as Jesus continually predicts that he was going to be handed over to the authorities and…

I believe the first and most compelling reason that Jesus frequently used parables can be explained by the era in which he was a man, in those times most information was spread by word of mouth and folklore. The word Parable is defined as “a simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson, as told by Jesus in the Gospels (Merriam-Webster)”. However, these “stories” should be viewed as the direct word of Jesus. The bible viewed as the word and parable of Jesus Christ, however, written…

Parable : An allegorical story that is used to teach truth, moral lessons, or religious principles. (Most known parable in the Gospel Bible is the parable of the lost coin) Parable of the Three Servants (Matthew 25:14-30) 2- Who was Christ speaking to? In the parable, which is speaking metaphorically, Christ (The man) was speaking to his servants. He taught his servants a lesson by giving them opportunities to prove they can follow his instructions. In reality, Christ does not have…

understanding in the first part of the book explains about the fulfillment of Jesus Christ (wright 56). “By repeated use of the fulfilment phrase, Matthew The New Testament authors clearly saw Jesus as the fulfillment of the Old Testament Promise. For this very reason Matthew explicitly uses Old Testament references to claim Christ as the Messiah However, Matthew does not utilize the most popular Messianic prophecies throughout Christ's childhood and life to prove that Jesus is…

From the book of acts chapter six to eight, and the book of Luke chapters nine and ten, the seventy and the seven are chosen as evangelists to fulfill Jesus's commission to preach, heal, and cast out demons when the twelve appear to be unwilling or unable to do so. Robertson focuses on the events leading to the rise of the seven in the book of acts, similarities between passages involving the seven and the seventy and the role of the twelve in Luke and Acts, and the threat posed by the other…

Robert Brown Biology is a very broad topic and many scientists have contributed to the biology world. In this paper I will be talking about one of those people who had a major contribution to the science community. “Robert Brown was born on December 21, 1773 in Montrose Scotland. He died on June 10, 1858 at the age of 84 in London England” (Britannica 1). Robert Brown most recognized by how he described the “cell nuclei and the continuous motion of minute particles in solution, which came to…

The Synoptic Gospels The New Testament is composed of four Gospels written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke are known as the Synoptic Gospels because they all contain either similar or identical stories from Jesus’ life. Synoptic means that they can be read together “with one eye” (Harris 117). All the connections and similarities between the Synoptic Gospels had created an issue for scholars that they referred to as the Synoptic Problem. In order to solve…
