Write a short description of Mark's Gospel - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔- Mark was a Jewish
man who wrote for a Roman audience.
- His Gospel was written for a Christian community facing persecution in Rome.
- So, Mark had to get into the mind of a Roman and work out what it is that he should do to
convince the Romans that Jesus was God.
Mark omitted all those things that would not interest the Romans, that they could care less
about.
- So, Mark omitted Jesus' genealogy, his birth and all Old Testament references.
- Mark instead included the miracles and talked about a God that could heal to impress the
Romans. He over loaded his Gospel with miracles.
Mark's Gospel is therefore the shortest.
- Mark's Gospel was the first to be written and it was the first to use this style of
announcement to tell the victory of Jesus and the Kingdom of God over Satan and evil.
- He gave the greatest portion of his Gospel to the Jesus' resurrection rather than his suffering
and his death.
- Mark's Gospel focused more on what Jesus could do rather than what Jesus said.
- A core teaching of Mark's Gospel is that God the Father sent Jesus and the Holy Spirit
together to restore the human relationship with God.
- Mark's Gospel was completed around 63AD
Write a short description of Matthew's Gospel - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔- Matthew was a
Jewish man and he wrote for a Jewish audience.
- He wanted to convince the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah that the Old Testament Prophets
had prophesied.
, - That this same Jesus that they had crucified was the Messiah prophesied by the prophets of
the Old Testament.
- Matthew knew that the Jews believed in the authority of the Old Testament so he used the
Old Testament scriptures, more than Mark, Luke and John to persuade the Jews that Jesus
was the fulfillment of over 330 Old Testament prophecies written about him in the Old
Testament.
- Matthew's Gospel was completed around 80AD.
Write a short description of Luke's Gospel - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔- Luke was the only
Gentile writer who wrote and reached out to a Gentile audience, a non-Jewish audience.
- Luke wrote for those people that the Jews rejected like the lepers, tax-collectors,
Samaritans, prostitutes and sinners.
- So, Luke decided to focus and write for those people with whom Jesus loved and interacted.
- He wrote to convince the Gentiles that Jesus was the God of Jews as well as Gentiles.
- He wrote to convince his audience that Jesus offers Grace for Everyone.
- Luke's Gospel therefore includes all those stories that are not found in the other three (3)
Gospels, but only found in the Gospel of Luke.
- Some of the stories included in Luke's Gospel are: The Prodigal Son, Zacchaeus the tax-
collector, The Good Samaritan, the Ten Lepers, the prostitute who washed Jesus' feet with her
tears and dried his feet with her hair, the Pharisee and the Tax-Collector, The parable of the
rich man and the beggar.
- He highlighted that Jesus did not come only for the religious aristocratic Jew, but for those
who wasted their lives away (like the thief on the cross) who made poor decisions and who
now needed grace.
- Luke goes out of his way to convince people that there is grace and forgiveness in Jesus
Christ.
- Luke's Gospel corrects the idea that some of the people have - that wealth is a sign of God's
blessing and that poorer people are not favored by God.
- Luke's Gospel was completed around 80AD.
Write a short description of John's Gospel - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔- John was a Jewish
man who wrote for a general audience.
- John's Gospel is unique because 93% of John's Gospel cannot be found in any of the other
Gospels.

- He did this by focusing on the seven statements that Jesus said about himself and did.
