  1. TheFourgospels By: Rob Lawrence, Matthew Raterman, and Nathan Zirpolo

  2. Matthew -- Matthew is also known as the winged human because his gospel reading starts with a listing of Jesus’ ancestors. -- Matthew’s gospel is known as the Church’s gospel because his gospel is the only one that uses the word church and he also uses more of Jesus’ sayings then others. This gospel is quoted the most often of the gospels.

  3. Mark -- Mark is also known as the winged lion because his gospel begins with John the Baptist, in the desert wilderness, crying out. -- The gospel of Mark was the first of the four gospels written and also the shortest. It is a very lively form of writing and it tells the good news of Jesus with excitement. When reading the gospel of Mark it is like seeing Jesus’ journey through Peter’s eyes.

  4. Luke -- Luke is also called the winged ox because his gospel starts with Zechariah offering a sacrifice and oxen were sacrificial animals -- Luke was a friend of Saint Paul so he knew a lot about Jesus’ teachings. Unlike Matthew and Mark and John, Luke was not Hebrew, but Gentile. He directed his gospel to not only Jews but also Gentiles. Luke was also the writer of the Acts of the Apostles.

  5. John -- Another name for John is the soaring eagle because of the beauty and majestic state of his gospel. -- John’s gospel shows a different side of Jesus’ journey. It has a very deep belief in Jesus. His gospel is used for many important days of the church, like Easter Sunday or Christmas Mass.

  6. Similarities and Differences • Luke has 389 verses in common with Matthew and Mark • John writes his gospel to show a deeper belief in Jesus than the other three who focus mainly on the narrative. • Although every gospel writer, writes there gospel in a different way they all show the faith and beliefs we should have in Jesus along with his journey.
