Comparing to Gospels: Mark & John

Claudia Corbetta April 5, 2013 THE-307 The word of honor is a collection of texts considered sacred in Christianity. Separated in many a(prenominal) sections, the rule book includes quadruple evangel singing singing by 4 antithetical formers that grade stories, miracles, parables, pedagogics and stories verbalise the world on savior livelihood. The credo singing singings be named after the cardinal apostils Mark, Matthew, Luke and John. individu all toldy church doctrine has similarities and differences in many aspects, besides they all read a plebeian end they all tell the paper of savior of Naz atomic number 18th.The Gospel of Mark is order towards gentile Christians, because he has to explain Semitic terms that Christians might not understand. It shows that the informant is unfamiliar with the geography and is unfamiliar with Judaic customs. This gospel is also the earliest oneness create verbally and narrates the Ministry of delivery boy, includ ing the baptism all the way to deliverer death and resurrection. Mark doesnt establish any information about his life before the baptism or his genealogy, it simply says that he came out of Galilee, similar to Johns gospel that mentions he is of Galilean origin.Throughout Marks gospel, deliverer is named the password of Man (MK 228). Referring him as and agent of immortal that volition cut across out all evil and Israel will be in power. There ar two types of gospels written. There is the noble Christology and the low Christology or also named Christology from in a higher place and below. Between attach gospel and Johns gospel they are both written in two types of ways. Marks gospel is considered to be a synoptic gospel with a low Christology. This means that the gospel writers begin with the earthly Jesus where his theological system is revealed.The gospel shows has examples of Jesus be forgiving and shows emotions that he might feel and mistakes that he might make. An example of this is when Jesus is meliorate the blind, his humanity is shown here because he tries doubly to heal the blind instead of being able to heal him twice (MK 822-26). It also means that the life of Jesus of Nazareth is described more through the gospel for example the offset when the unknown author speaks about the baptism, a human indication that Jesus has In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by the Jordan in John.As soon he came out of the water, he saw the heavens being fall in and the Spirit desc determination to him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven You are My beloved son, I take rape in you. (MK 19-11). Johns gospel on the other fade is more of a high Christology. A high Christology or a Christology from to a higher place starts with the heavenly Christ who descends to Earth and is plate among us In the beginning was the news, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God, and through him were all things made. (JN1 1-3).This means that God is everything, and that on that point was never a condemnation that he existed. He was the beginning and because of him everything was created. as well as saying the beginning of the world began with him. In this example, the gospel doesnt begin with the baptism as mentioned before it begins with the creation of God onto the world. Also, a Christology from above shows more of the divinity of Jesus rather than the humanity of Jesus. Throughout tag gospel, Jesus of Nazareth is described as a great teacher and emphasizes the suffering christ because his community is suffering.Jesus is also a best-selling(predicate) teacher but they are fearful of his power. An example of this is MK 61-6, where he is teaching all of his people but they are doubting him and wondering where he got all this information from, but at the homogeneous time when he heals the people marveled because of their uncertainty. The feeding of the five tho usand appears in both Johns gospel and Marks gospel (JN 61-14, MK 630-44). The fact that this level is in both gospels shows that Marks gospel has miracles as well as Johns and that in both gospels there is a al-Qaida of compassion towards the people.When the accounting is told in Mark, it is mentioned that the miracles was make by Jesus compassion for the advertize and concern that they might faint without food returning home (MK 634-44). The story shows Jesus supernaturally providing for his followers. In John, he says that this is the work of God (MK 629). The close of both Mark and Johns gospel are different. In Marks Gospel there are two stops MK 161-8 and MK 169-20. The first ending shows an go off tomb and the divine messengers plot of ground the second ending is a overnight ending and the people that saw the empty tomb leave and dont say anything.Johns gospels ending is different in JN 3030-31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and that believing ye might have life through his name. As mentioned before, because Johns gospel is a Christology from above, there are no feelings shown especially at the end, it shows more the divinity fudge of Jesus of Nazareth. As you may notice, steady though there are four gospels in the New Testament, there are differences and similarities in all of them.Not whole their authors but the way it was written, the literary devices and the stories that were told. However, if you jell both John and Mark together, even though they were written at different times, there is still the completion of the story of Jesus of Nazareth, and if you put all four of them together, the story is more complete than lonesome(prenominal) having two of the gospels. Many might nor full believe them because there might be some discrepancies between them, but as mentioned before they all have a common end they all tell the story of Jesus of Nazareth.
