Summary of the books of the New Testament
(Matthew)
The book of Matthew was a very important asset to the New Testament because Matthew himself was one of the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ. It explains how Jesus is a descendant of King David. Later Jesus was baptized and then he was tempted by Satan to do the wrong things. He then fasted for 40days to build his strength against Satan. Jesus became stronger and went to Galilee. In Galilee he told his apostles to go and teach on, “adultery, divorce, giving, prayer, judging, worry, treasures in Heaven and warnings to people.” Matthew and the other 11 apostles were the followers of Jesus during his humanly travel across Jerusalem. When Matthew had come to Jesus he was a Jewish tax collector. Nonetheless, he chose to leave his profession and follow Jesus Christ. However, we also have to keep in mind that every apostle played a very pertinent role in the life and death of Jesus Christ. In (Matthew21:1) it talks about how the triumphal entry by Jesus into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey and ends in the trial and crucifixion of Jesus on the cross as a sacrifice for all the sin in the world.
(Mark)
The illustrations of Mark were filled with explanations on Jesus and his walk through life. He also had to endure his own temptations of Satan while traveling through Galilee with his 12 apostles. Jesus performed many miracles during this time. He also had to endure many test and trials. Miracles such as: healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, feeding the hungry, helping the man possessed with an evil spirit, tending to crowds of sick people, there was a man with leprosy, helping the poor, etc… Nonetheless, the most important miracle of all was the suffering of Jesus and his death. The book consistently explains the power of God and how God released his power through Jesus Christ. In Mark15:39 the Roman soldier, was the first person who saw Jesus die on the

    The book of Mark is a genre of gospel. Mark is one of four Gospels written in the New Testament. The gospel of Mark begins by describing the life and ministry of Jesus. John the Baptist said that “I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit. (Mark 1:8) After Jesus baptism, he was tempted by Satan but he overcame all of the temptations. Jesus then began calling on His disciples with the purpose being that these men would follow and learn from Him as Jesus shared and taught the gospel. Jesus predicts He will be killed and will rise three days later. Jesus predicts Peter will deny Him three times. Peter does just as Jesus predicted and denies knowing Jesus. Jesus is taken before Pilate and is sentenced to death. During Jesus Crucifixion (Mark 15) a man named Simon helped carry his cross. After three hours on the cross, darkness occurred for three hours, at which point Jesus cried out “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?; then Jesus had took his last breath. He was buried in a tomb cut out of rock, and rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. He resurrected on the third day just as He predicted would happen.…

    The authorship of various books throughout the Bible seems to be a constant question for many, and the authorship of the book of Matthew is no different. No one really knows the person responsible for writing the first gospel of the New Testament for a number of reasons. As Leon Morris points out, the oldest known translation of Matthew is written in Greek, but there is considerable agreement that the disciple Matthew did not know Greek. Additionally, William Hendriksen concludes that since the book of Matthew draws knowledge from the gospels of Mark and John, it does not seem practical that one of Christ's disciples would need these other books as a template. Although the author is not known, A.W. Argyle states that there…

    Gospel Of Mark Analysis

    • 1904 Words
    • 8 Pages

    The focus of the text, which is on Jesus’ ability to cast out demons and heal the demoniac is highlighted here, and does not directly connect with the chosen pericope, which is about the faith of a sick woman who touches Jesus for healing. However, Jesus’ power and authority to cast out demons builds up and develops people’s perception of him, establishing the notion that he does indeed have some divine ability to perform miracles. In the following verses, Mk 5:21-23, Mark sets up a situation in which Jesus is begged and implored to go and heal the deathly sick daughter of a leader of a synagogue. With the daughter of the synagogue leader “at the point of death,” (Mk 5:23) it is clear that Jesus and his disciples have an urgent matter to take care of. The urgency of this situation is used to highlight the content of the chosen pericope, because it appears as if the bleeding woman is hindering Jesus and his disciples from reaching the leader’s dying daughter. The pericope starts from Mk 5:24 because from this verse onward, the focus is not the daughter of the synagogue leader, but the bleeding woman who approaches Jesus as he and his disciples are on their way to the house of the leader. Mark introduces the bleeding woman by emphasizing Jesus’ care for the woman who merely touched his…

    Starting with Christology one can start to examine the Gospels of John and Mark, where they agree and disagree. Jesus’ proclamation of his Deity resulted in skepticism as seen in John 5:18, “calling God his own Father, thereby making himself equal to God. Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise”. Jesus tries to explain that even though He claims to have God as his Father and Him being equal to God, He is doing what God is calling him to do. He is doing God’s will and spreading the word of God. Similarly in Mark 2:5, when “Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.’ Now some of the scribes were sitting there questioning and wondering, “Who can forgive sins but God alone?” Another instance of the inquiring and searching that a lot of people had towards Jesus’ teachings. Both John and Mark, depict the adversities He had to deal through his journey on Earth. A similar theme that is seen in both gospels is the way Jesus went about his ‘secret’ mission of spreading His divinity can be seen in Mark 5:40, “He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha come, and immediately the girl got up and began to walk about. At this they were overcome with amazement. He strictly ordered…
