All four gospels written by Mark‚ Matthew‚ Luke and John all began with word of Jesus with his life works and his miracles‚ parables and teachings. These stories of Jesus from people who knew him were passed down orally and were passed down through generations and over time they became teachings and preachings. In 70 AD Mark was the first disciple to put the stories of Jesus on paper‚ this happened because the older people started dying making it harder to remember the stories of Jesus so they decided

From an arrogant‚ cocky‚ man of thunder‚ he became a humble‚ willing‚ obedient servant of the Lord even to death. He rejoiced in his death because he knew that he was going to be reunited with Jesus again. Peter appears throughout the Gospels as a leader and the spokesman of the disciples‚ and Jesus most often addressed him when speaking to them. He was the spokesman for the good and the bad no matter what. He was truly a leader and knew what to do when Jesus asked him to. Like I said

In chapter 1 John describes Jesus as the “Word” in a poetic structure. In the beginning was the word‚ and the word was with God and what God was the Word was pg. 112 (Culpepper‚ 1998). Culpepper’s account describes a prologue then the prologue was divided into three parts. It is very important for one to understand the prologue. The prologue is divided into the first Strophe which describes the Word and God. This is saying that we cannot separate the Word and God. The second Strophe “The Word and

says: "For to this you have been called‚ because Christ also suffered for you‚ leaving you an example‚ so that you might follow in his steps.” We see the suffering that Jesus endured‚ as well as His burial‚ resurrection‚ and ascension through the Gospel writers. Jesus left us with an example to follow as he died on the cross for us – a perfect example‚ as Jesus was without sin and knew no sin (2 Corinthians 5:21 ESV). In 1 Peter 1:16 Jesus calls us to be holy as He was holy. In the death of

the Gospel “good news” for wo/men? Honestly‚ if we only scratch the surface‚ it is not. Wo/men are unnamed‚ unrepresented‚ set aside‚ and disregarded in the vast majority of this collection of books which is at the center of our religious tradition. Mary Magdala is a quintessential example of how what we do with the memory of wo/men in the Bible. How we remember them and their witness in the life of Jesus Christ. However‚ when we truly begin to unveil the masks which we impose on the Gospel‚ we begin
