Matthew uses parts of the Gospel Mark which we already studied in class. Matthew portrays Jesus very differently than Mark did. It starts off with how we learn about Jesus.

Interpretation of Mark 1-4 The Gospel according to Mark is shortest of all the Gospels‚ and with being set in around 26-30 CE it is the earliest accounting of Jesus ministry. The Gospel of Mark‚ in contrast to the other gospels‚ emphasizes the servanthood of the Lord rather than that of the Messiah. Mark tells us who Jesus is by telling us what Jesus did.

PROJECT IN THEO 101 By: Jazzy Rejel A. Goloso ABGC-I Have you ever wondered if peoples’ names have any real value or significance?

By understanding the suffering that our Lord Jesus went through during his death one can truly appreciate the privileges that we Christians have. The suffering of our Christ is seen throughout the Gospel of Mark chapter 15 verse sixteen to the end of the chapter. This can be seen in Verse 17 when the soldiers of Rome ridiculed and humiliated Jesus. “They put a purple robe on him…a crown of thrones and set it on him”(Verse 17 721). During these times the purple robe was worn only by the ruling elite

Short Essay on Christology Two men approach me and claim that Jesus Christ was a man‚ but denied his deity. If I were to show them the truth‚ I would have to explain the biblical basis of Jesus’ humanity‚ deity‚ explain how he can be both man and God‚ and explain what this all means to me.
