    Synoptic Gospels, I do believe there is a literary relationship between all of them. The relationship is obvious because the Gospels correlate closely in their accounts and wording. Although I recognize the similarities, I would oppose the argument that they are simply duplicates of one another. There is a possibility that Mark could have been the first Gospel written. I would not argue that it absolutely was or was not. Yet, I do not agree and I would argue against the idea that the Gospel of Mark

    can remain factual, yet adapted to be presented to a variety of audiences-as is the case with the birth story of Jesus, the Messiah. The Gospels of Matthew and Luke are an example of the well-rounded, yet diverse, narration of the birth story of Jesus-Matthew's narration spoke to the Jewish people and Luke presented to the citizens of Rome. Although both Gospels share common elements of the birth story of Jesus-Mary, Joseph, the angelic announcement, an oppressive political ruler, difficult travel

    transliteration of the Greek word “inspirata”, which means “to breath into” or “God-breathed”. So technically, inspiration is the process whereby God breathed out his words. The Gospels of Luke and John display examples of special revelation, through which God inspires us and communicates with us for our salvation. In the Gospel of Luke, God speaks and inspires people through the actions of Jesus Christ. The main subject of Luke’s presentation is to convey the idea that Jesus is the Son of Man, the true

    Luke’s Gospel is a portrayal of Jesus as a model of social justice. Hence, the reader is empowered and influenced by the Gospel to be actively involved in social justice issues. The Catholic Church has sought to reach out to those in need, and Luke’s Gospel demonstrates this through injustices that Jesus challenged.

    The Gospel of Luke 1. Who was Luke, and why was he qualified to write a book in the Bible? a. Luke was a Gentile physician, an educated “skilled literary artist”, a friend of Paul’s and a follower of Jesus (Strauss, 2011, p. 6497).

This logic places the writing of Luke around A.D. 58-63. This time table working in reverse ?Markan Priority,? places all three Synoptic Gospels very close in time frame: Mark
