The Gospel of John

The gospel of John tries to show us a diferent imasge from the rest of the gospels. It tries to show us something like christ and it's origins more than its life or any other thing. It includes the basics of Jesus’ ministry—his preaching, miracles, trial, crucifixion, and resurrection. It is likely that John heard the details about these events from a very early oral source common to all the Gospels, but the freedom he uses to interpret these events helps us see clearly that all accounts of Jesus have come to us through the filter of interpretation. The gospel of John is divided into two. It is divided into the book of signs and into the book of glory. The first part explains miracles Jesus made and it significances while the seccond part explains Jesus’ glorification through crucifixion and resurrection.

“Sir, give me this water so that I may never be thirsty” (4:14-15). This part extracted from the gospel of John is a very simbolic part of his writting. it tries to tell that the samaritan woman is trying just to tell Jesus to guide her. To let her never be lost again. She knows she is a person who can guide her through her life and this is why she asks him to give her spiritual guidance so she never falls in darkness once again. It has a very similar meaning to that of of the girl who was dead which I mentioned in one of my recent blogs. She was dead and he revived her or gave her the meaning of life, and in the other case the woman was thirsty which actually meant didnt know where to go and Jesus made the path for her. For some the bible might be literal but for others it may be very simbolic and that is free to interpret.

The Gospel According to Luke

The gospel of Luke is a completely diferent Gosple than Mark's because of his way of writting it. Mark througou the gosple talks about Jesus instead Luke divides his gospel into two: One part Birth, ministry, death, and ressurection. The other part talks more about the history of church and what happened to the apostols after Jesus died. Luke's way of writting was sort of Greek which just says one thing about him, he was a well educated man unlike other apsotols that were fishermen. Luke is always making reference to the old testament throughout his gospel. He is somewhat like Mark in the sense that he to talks alot about miracles but is persistently concerned on the poor and outcast.

He is very loose on the materialistic world and he is very much like Jesus in that sense, he just keeps talking on how abundance is dangereous and how more of that should be given to the poor.

The Gospel According to Mark

Mark's writting on the bible is somewhat dull and repeats alot the word then. Mark is diferent from the rest because his accounts are more shopisticated and he leaves out Jesus's birth and rather starts off with his adult life. I have researched that the gospel of Mark was left out for some time but in the last 20 or 30 years some scholarshave considered it the most important piece of the new testament because he creates a vivd example of Jesus's life. The Gospel of Mark is vivid and concrete. Action dominates. A dramatic sense of urgency is present.

This gospel of Mark has the most important pieces of Jesus's life like his trial with stan in the dessert, the fishermen and the net, and describes all the miracles Jesus made throughtout the testament like for example when he revived the dead girl. I find this piece very metaphorical even though I am a strong beleiver but I am completely sure that the real meaning of this miracle like many other miracles is diferent. God revives a dead girl. This might actuallymena that the girl was a girl "dead in life" which had many problems and what Jesus just did was bring her back and end all her problems to make her a normal person again. Jesus’ ministry attracts many followers. The miracle stories become increasingly longer and more elaborate, emphasizing the supernatural power of Jesus’ authority. Mark says that “even wind and sea obey him” (4:35–41).
