The Gospels Of The New Testament

Matthew, Mark, and Luke are all telling a story, a very special story. You can read all of them separately and they will all share a similar theme. All three of them show us a common outlook on the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. However, when you read them all together, back to back, you see that where they all tell the same story, they also show us different perspectives on those stories. The writers of these specific books took the same story and they wrote with different outlooks.The books don't contradict each other, they tell the same story. The Synoptic Gospels share three things a similar language, the events taking place, and the timeline in which they happened. After reading the three books I've gained some deep personal insights of my own, and have an amazing new view on the true story of Jesus' life and ministry.

The Gospel according to Matthew is the first book of the New Testament. The story explains how the Messiah, Jesus, was refused by Israel and finally sent the disciples to preach the gospel around the whole world. As Matthew wrote for his fellow Jews, he wrote his Gospel in the language Jesus spoke, Aramaic, which led early Church Fathers to believe Matthew’s was the first Gospel. On the other hand, the Gospel of Mark teaches that Jesus is the Son of God who assumed human nature. Mark wrote the gospel in Greek for a Gentile-Christian audience, which was undergoing persecution, perhaps in Rome. A central theme is that following Jesus often means that a Christian must suffer like Jesus did. Mark’s Gospel points out that Jesus accepted this important title, but that he was reluctant to let people know his identity. (Matthew 26:26-30 and Mark 14:22-26 )

The gospel of Luke and John are gospels about Jesus and John the Baptist. They have several differences and similarities. The Gospel of Luke describes the conception and birth of John the Baptist and Jesus while the gospel of Luke describes their life after birth. Summaries, variances, and connections of these two gospels are discussed below.

All four gospels present Jesus as both the Son of God and son of man. They all record His baptism, the feeding of the 5,000 from five loaves and two fishes, Mary's anointing of the Lord Jesus, His prayer in the garden of Gethsemane, His betrayal, trial, crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection. However, each writer

The Gospels are stories of Jesus’ life and teachings, told by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, in the first four books of the New Testament. There is little difference between the first three, they tell the same stories of jesus but with slight differences. But the gospel of John, the gospel that traditionally appears fourth in the new testament, has many differences to the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. They are used to spread the teachings of jesus, and give us guidance in our lives. ‘Gospel’ is derived from the old english, ‘god-spel’, (‘god’-’good’, ‘spel’- ‘news’). The gospel literally translates to ‘good news’.

As stated by The Drama Scripture Finding Our Place, “the Gospel means ‘good news’ and this is the best news there can be: in Jesus, the kingdom of God has come!” (Bartholomew, Craig pp. 126) The Gospel helps us understand more about Jesus and his life; therefore, reading and understanding each Gospel on its own before attempting to put the events of Jesus in order is essential and helpful. An article titled An Overview of the Four Gospels of the New Testament states that the four testaments all reflect different ideas even though they are all the same stories. (FRONTLINE) which I think is very relevant. Luke, Mathew, Mark are said to be the most similar but regardless of how similar they seem they all are special in their own way. They wouldn’t

Mark, Matthew, John, and Luke are the four gospel writers that describe Jesus in different perspectives. In the Gospel of Matthew, presents the Messiah (Jesus), as the promised Savior, the King of the Jews and talks of wise men and their expensive gifts, but not as shepherds. For Mark, sees Jesus as a perfect servant of god. Also in Mark sees Jesus as mysterious and intentionally keeps people from understanding who he really is by telling the people he performs miracles on a secret. Jesus seems to be a very secretive kind of figure in Mark's gospel.

The four Gospels all deal with the earthly life of Jesus Christ, but each one portrays him in unique ways. Mark presents the Lord Jesus as the Servant of Jehovah and the perfect Workman of God. Matthew portrays Christ as the Son of David and the Heir of Israel’s throne. Luke presents him as the Perfect Man. John portrays Jesus as the Heavenly One and the eternal Son of the Father (EXPOSITION).

In this essay, I will justify why Jesus, a historical figure, is molded in ancient texts to fulfill biased endeavors in spirituality without proven or creditable sources. This initial warping of Jesus carries over pre-organized beliefs and conclusions about who he was and what he did. First, I will discuss the obvious biases of each Gospel writer and explain why they are partial in displaying Jesus, each story simply benefiting their own belief and purpose. After, comparing and contrasting the Gospel’s varying images of Jesus, I will show the continuous inconsistency on who Jesus was and what he represents tracing back to the original penmanship in 65-90 CE. Next, I will explain why the sources used to write all four Gospels are unreliable

The Bible is one of the most famous books of all time. It is divided into two sections and in the second one named the New Testament, Jesus is the main focal point. His story is outlined and written in the Gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke and John. Although the Gospels of Mark and John are written about the same Jesus, the way he is presented is drastically different. The Gospel of Mark depicts Jesus as a teacher and a healer that wandered the earth presenting himself as the Son of God.

Each author, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, present their own perspective of Christ. Matthew’s Gospel Matthew present Christ as the King Messiah, the promised one of Israel (The Prophesied king) Matthew 2:2 Matthew gospel

Most people with a general understanding of the Bible know that the first four books of the New Testament are called the Gospels. Most people also understand on a broad level that the Gospel seach tell the story of Jesus Christ -- His birth, ministry, teachings, miracles, death, and returning from the dead. What many people don't know, however, is that there's a striking difference between the first three Gospels -- Matthew, Mark, and Luke, which are known together as the Synoptic Gospels --and the Gospel of John. In fact, the Gospel of John is so (like nothing else in the world) that 90 percent of the material it contains (related to/looking at/thinking about) Jesus' life cannot be found in the other Gospels.

Many people believe that there is only one account of the Passion of Jesus Christ or they believe that each story is the same; whereas there are four separate Gospel accounts of the Passion of Our Lord. Each of these Gospel accounts supplements the others, however each gospel account of the crucifixion of Jesus is unique, not only in how the story is told but also in the events and features themselves. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John clearly present different portrayals of the death of Jesus Christ. By examining each account the reader discovers the evangelist's understanding of the death accounts of the crucifixion and death of Jesus. The reader must examine and compare all of the Gospel accounts to have a full and

The word "gospel" is a translation of the Greek word "euangelion" which means "good news. The first three books in the New Testament (Mark, Matthew, and Luke) are often referred to as the Synoptic Gospels (from Greek synoptikos, "seen together") They bear greater similarity to each other than any of the other gospels in the New Testament. Along with these similarities come some differences among the gospels, suggesting that each gospel was written for a specific audience and for a specific purpose. This paper will examine the resurrection of Jesus, while identifying the significant differences between Mark, Matthew and Luke. This paper will also analyze the differences to suggest the prominent theological perspective each gospel author
