The Synoptic Gospels all agree on Jesus’ characteristic modes of teaching (Harris, 2014). In their account of Jesus’ teachings, his regular method was to involve the use of metaphors. More specifically, Jesus was famous for using parables in his teachings (Harris, 2014). A parable is defined as using a made-up story to assist in allowing students to better understand a moral way of thinking based on a religious belief (Merriam-Webster, 2018). “In the Synoptic accounts, Jesus commonly likens God’s

Chapter 7 He went to the festival in secret, because He wasn't going for the attention, He went to teach. Jesus was a very humble man, and He obeyed his father, and didn't take any of the glory.In the middle of chapter 7, Jesus says that He will go where He cannot be found(John 7:34). From my understanding and knowledge of the Bible, He is talking about Heaven. He would not be found, because heaven wasn't ready yet. It was still being prepared for us, so that it could be perfect. Jesus did not come

“The position of the Gospel according to Matthew as the first of the four gospels in the New Testament reflects both the view that it was the first to be written, a view that goes back to the late second century A.D., and the esteem in which it was held by the church; no other was so frequently quoted in the noncanonical literature of earliest Christianity(Matthew)”. From here we could see that the Mathew is a very important book in the bible because it talks about lots of different lessons. Using

Jesus Treatment of People: The Uniqueness about Jesus’ Treatment of Women, Children, Poor, and Disenfranchised in the Jewish Society. While researching about the uniqueness of Jesus’ treatment of women, children, poor, and disenfranchised in the Jewish society, I came across authors who published about the ministry of Jesus as well as historical, religious, political, and social factors that played a role during the ministry of Jesus. These writers placed the ministry of Jesus in context by discussing

1. The difference between the two is that the patient is in a mental hospital. Jesus was free a majority of his life. Another reason the two examples differ, is that Jesus proved who he was by the miracles that he performed. Jesus also as a child spoke these words “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me” (John 6:37-38). He did not claim to be God but

Saint Matthew was a tax collector and a banker. A tax collector was a hated job at the time. He was a Jew and worked for the romans. Matthew was the son of Alpheus, a very honest man, and was likely born in Galilee. He was one of the 12 apostles. When saint Matthew was working at a tax booth Jesus walked up to him said, “Come and follow me”. After that message Matthew became a disciple of Christ and left his family and friends and when to follow Jesus. St. Matthew wrote 1 of the 4 gospels of the

While scholars have been unable to conclusively assign authorship of the Gospel of Luke to a specific author, there is a robust debate within the theological and academic communities regarding the Gospel’s authorship (Harris, 2014). Traditionalists believe the Gospel of Luke was authored by Luke, a physician that occasionally travelled with the Apostle Paul. Whereas, non-traditionalists assert the Luke the physician did not write the Book of Luke and the actual author cannot be conclusively identified

When someone first says gospel, many individuals first thought is that of the first four books of the New Testament, and the words that Jesus preached during his time on earth. Though accurate, its meaning goes much deeper. ‘Gospel’ when literally translated into English from the original Greek form is literally interpreted as ‘good news, messenger, and to proclaim or announce good news.’ The most common time an individual will use the word gospel is when speaking about the preaching that Jesus

This paper was written to highlight several titles that used of Jesus in Luke and Acts. In the New Testament, titles that applied to Jesus often had special meanings that also connected to the Old Testament prophecies. To identify this theme is important because the titles used of Jesus have something special that constitute a definition of who Jesus is and what he does. Throughout the four gospels, Jesus was given many important titles that define him in an authoritative and Christological way.

I suppose, since I became a Christian (born again July 31, 1975), I have heard a lot of different opinions concerning different areas and events of the Bible. Of all the topics and points of interest, none has intrigued me as much as the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As you read this study there is one main point that all Christians will agree on. It may not be the day of the week or the hour of the day Jesus died, but we will all agree to the fact that Jesus
