THE GOSPELS
![Page 2: THE GOSPELS. FOUR GOSPELS Matthew (Mt.), Mark (Mk.), Luke (Lk.), and John (Jn.) are the four CANONICAL Gospels (Dozens were written) Mt., Mk., and Lk](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ce65503460f949b4acc/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
FOUR GOSPELS
• Matthew (Mt.), Mark (Mk.), Luke (Lk.), and John (Jn.) are the four CANONICAL Gospels (Dozens were written)
• Mt., Mk., and Lk. are known as the SYNOPTIC (“One Eye”) Gospels• The Synoptics not only have a similar style, but
tell many of the SAME stories in the SAME order.
![Page 3: THE GOSPELS. FOUR GOSPELS Matthew (Mt.), Mark (Mk.), Luke (Lk.), and John (Jn.) are the four CANONICAL Gospels (Dozens were written) Mt., Mk., and Lk](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ce65503460f949b4acc/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
WHY ONLY FOUR?• Some were written centuries after Jesus.• Some mixed pagan folklore w/ the story of
Jesus.• Some put other philosophies into the mouth of
Jesus. i.e. In the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus tells women to “become male”. (This means to take on male characteristics like being logical.)
![Page 4: THE GOSPELS. FOUR GOSPELS Matthew (Mt.), Mark (Mk.), Luke (Lk.), and John (Jn.) are the four CANONICAL Gospels (Dozens were written) Mt., Mk., and Lk](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ce65503460f949b4acc/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Mt., Mk., Lk. and Jn. were written only 1-2 generations after Jesus and were believed to be written by apostles or their close followers. •Matthew and John were apostles.•Mark was believed to be dictated by
Peter.•Luke was a companion of St. Paul.

How are the Synoptics related?• There have been many theories about who copied
from whom.• None can be proven, of course.

![Page 15: THE GOSPELS. FOUR GOSPELS Matthew (Mt.), Mark (Mk.), Luke (Lk.), and John (Jn.) are the four CANONICAL Gospels (Dozens were written) Mt., Mk., and Lk](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ce65503460f949b4acc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Who are the religious authorities?• Pharisees – teachers (“rabbis”), their goal was to make every
Jewish boy literate in Scripture. Some of their theology was similar to Jesus’ (i.e. Resurrection).• They were strict observers of the law/tradition of the
elders.• Jesus criticizes their hypocrisy and blindness.
• Sadducees – were the priests, connected to the Temple and Sanhedrin, its ruling council. (When the Temple disappeared, so does their power.)• Laws from Bible, not traditions.• Rejected the idea of resurrection, angels, demons.
![Page 16: THE GOSPELS. FOUR GOSPELS Matthew (Mt.), Mark (Mk.), Luke (Lk.), and John (Jn.) are the four CANONICAL Gospels (Dozens were written) Mt., Mk., and Lk](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ce65503460f949b4acc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Other important groups• Zealots – zealous for God’s Law, wanted a violent
overthrow of Roman authority.
• Essenes – John the Baptist MAY have been one. The Essenes lived in community, separating themselves from “the world”.• Messianic, rejected Temple authority.• Their monastery destroyed in 68 AD, during
war w/ Rome. They would have seen this as the final battle between the forces of good and evil.

• Herodians –supporters of Herod. They conspire to kill Jesus in Mk.
• High Priest, Chief Priests, Priests, and Levites - members of the tribe of Levi who were responsible for the Temple and its sacrifices.
• Scribes – trained writers, help interpret Law.• Could be members of various parties, but often
against Jesus.
