The Synoptic Gospels are filled with many different stories about Jesus, some tell the same ones. Jesus’ Arrest, was one of the most interesting stories told in the Synoptic Gospels. The Arrest of Jesus, is one of the most important stories in the Synoptic Gospels. In this story, one of Jesus’ disciples was to betray him, Judas Iscariot. For this betrayal, he would be awarded 30 pieces of silver. Judas was to kiss the one who was supposed to be arrested, in order to point him out for the people who were to arrest him. When Judas kissed Jesus, one of Jesus’ companion’s pulled out his sword and, “struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear” (Matthew 26: 51).

  • Three Synoptic Gospels

    1681 Words  | 4 Pages

    The contents of the Bible have dealt with controversy in regards to its inerrancy since publication, and will surely continue to. Historians progress to learn more about biblical stories in order to provide evidence for the reliability of information. Many believers today understand that not everything in the Bible has been factually proven. An outstanding topic many scholars pay attention to lies within the four gospels. The three synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, replay essentially the same story with minor inconsistencies, while John portrays Jesus in an entirely different way. The differences in each gospel are due to how each gospel entertains different portrayals of the life and understanding of Jesus himself, in order to persuade

  • The Gospel of Matthew

    1550 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Gospel of Matthew is an eyewitness story written for an audience of believers, under great stress, and persecution. Matthew develops a theological plot incorporating genealogy, speeches, parables, inter and intra textual references, common vocabulary, and fulfillment quotations, with a tension that builds as we are invited into the story. The crucifixion and resurrection bring us to a Christological climax that symbolically points beyond its conclusion to God’s Kingdom, bringing atonement, salvation and the ushering in the Eschaton. The extraordinary events surrounding the crucifixion act as commentary, adding important details concerning the death of Jesus.1

  • The Gospel According to Luke

    1035 Words  | 3 Pages

    The book of Luke, found after the books Matthew and Mark, focuses on the ministry of Jesus Christ but it also gives us a look into His birth and growth in totality. In this chapter we see a historical account of some of the journeys that Christ experienced. It is important to keep in mind that the Bible and all of its books do serve as historical accounts but each book is unique in the fact that they incorporate a theological timeline. The Bible is, conceivably, the most important book that has ever been written. It gives the world eyewitness accounts to historical events that helped not only shaped a region of the world but the whole entire world. It is nearly impossible to go through some formal societal education and have never once read a part of the bible or have heard a story that adapts from the stories within the bible. The bible has helped formed institutions, associations and so much more. By reading the Gospel of Luke we are truly reading what is meant for us to read as Christians. The principal plot in the book of Luke is the life of Jesus Christ, his sacrifice, His ability to beat death and remain perfect as the son of GOD despite being human as well. Jesus is seen as the perfect savior for humans in the book of Luke. Luke not only gives multiple examples of the power of Jesus but also it gives us a look at The Lord’s triumph over temptation. Luke also depicts Jesus as a man/GOD who had a very deep concentration on people and relationships. The book of Luke gives Jesus a loving characteristic but doesn’t shy away from showing that at times Jesus got angry too. Jesus showed a great deal of compassion to the sick, those in pain, the poor, and unambiguously the sinful. Jesus had genuine love for everyone. Throughout this...

  • J. H. Bernard Synoptic Gospels

    J. H. Bernard highlights the idea ὁ διάβολος ἤδη βεβληκότος, “the devil having already put into the heart of Judas, to betray him. The synoptic gospels clearly reveals clearly the bargain made by with the religious leaders before that night (Mk. 14:10, Mt. 26:14, Lk 22:3). Hence, what John does simply points to the treachery of Judas, instigated by the devil; this is repeated by John in verse 27, when Judas decides on the final and fatal step. 11

  • The Bible and Jesus of Nazareth

    759 Words  | 2 Pages

    Essay: The Bible says Jesus of Nazareth was a teacher who used miracles to help people. In reality he was a wandering man whose simple tricks and healing remedies were mistaken for miracles. He wandered Judea preaching about the validity of the jewish laws. This gained him a large following. Roman officials caught wind of this and were scared of an uprising. So they had him executed; however this had the opposite effect. The jewish sect that followed Jesus was pacified for some time but emerged again as Christianity, with a larger following than before. Eventually, and ironically, it ended up surviving the Roman Empire.
