Within the New Testament, the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John work together to give accounts of the life of Jesus; Mark, though, uniquely focuses on Jesus as God. Each of these gospels give an insight into the life of Christ from their perspective. Each of the authors was moved by the Holy Spirit to write their thoughts down onto paper. Each one of these authors had the, “primary purpose…to present the gospel message and call people to faith” (Elwell & Yarbrough, 2013, p. 57). They…

The Gospel of Mark has a particular style of setting the scene of Jesus death. We are going to examine how Mark puts a dramatic emphasis in the death of Jesus Christ. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the climax of Mark’s dramatic narration. In addition, Mark tells the story in such an ambiguous way for the purpose of the reader to make their own inferences. In the gospel of mark, the narration mentions that there were bystanders provoking Jesus to drink the sour wine while mocking…

author of Matthew composed his Gospel by copying and editing the sources of Mark, Q and M. Nevertheless, by examining his literature, one may find several selections of his arrangements filled perhaps, with his own interpretation and understandings of the actual Kerugma, fundamentals and traditions in which he worked on. On of which is the way Matthew makes his own characteristics of the theology relating to the person, nature, and role of Jesus, Christology. In Presenting Jesus, Matthew gives…

In the New Testament there are four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. “Each one of the Gospels was written to provide a unique perspective on the person and work of Jesus Christ”. The Gospels are broken down into two parts, the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke) and the Gospel of John. The Synoptic Gospels are separated from the Gospel of John based on their shared stories and language. The Gospel of John provides a more theological outlook on the story of Jesus Christ. From our Four…

Few works of literature have proven to be as enduring and pervasive as those that have their roots in emergence of Christianity. The Gospel of Matthew and Einhard’s Life of Charlemagne alike both focus on the lives of romanticized leaders integral to the establishment and lasting impact of the religion. Although the depictions of Jesus of Nazareth and Charlemagne have much in common, their roles within their respective societies were very different. Through analysis of these historical…

With the vital elements given in the Gospels, we obtain more knowledge about the Annunciation, genealogy, visitors, other significance. The annunciation was when the angel Gabriel appeared before Mary and asked her to carry the son of God. Similar to the word “annunciation, the incarnation was announced at this time. In…

story. The gospels of Mark and Matthew are recognized as synoptic gospels, being that they contain majority of the same stories about Jesus’ birth, walk, and crucifixion. Even though the Bible doesnt mention which chapter was written first, the Gospel of Mark comes before Matthew, giving us great reason to believe that Mark was the first of many other synoptic gospels written. Reading the two chapters, a person would definitely be able to recognize that the author of Matthew took the gospel of…

book of Matthew portrays Jesus as the promised Jewish Messiah and the fulfillment of Old Testament hopes and prophesies. For example, Matthew 1:1 states, “This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son Abraham.” From the beginning, Matthew writes to a Jewish audience and clearly states his purpose to depicts Jesus as the King of the Jews. He continues on to describe Jesus’ entire Jewish genealogy, which clearly portrays Jesus as Christ of the Jews. Additionally, in Matthew…

He first of all narrates miracles that followed on the day of the sermon (8:1-17); he then turns to the evening of which Mark writes and relates that a crowd had again gathered at the home of Jesus, and that this induced Jesus to decide to leave. Matthew then reports the storm and the miracles that followed on the next day and completes his preliminary survey of the miracles in chapters 8, 9 to match his account of the teaching recorded in chapters 5-7 (Lenski…
