![]() ![]() ![]() Reading four different accounts of the same story can get confusing. The four tell the one story of Jesus-sometimes they tell the same story from different perspectives and sometimes they tell something unique to their own experience of Jesus. The last book was written by John, one of the twelve disciples of Jesus and the last to die, exiled to the Greek island of Patmos. Luke emphasizes Jesus’ concern for the poor, the weak, and those who knew they needed a savior. The third book was written by Luke, a physician who also accompanied Paul on some missionary journeys. (The story of Paul is found in the book of Acts it is the story of the beginning of the church.) Mark tells the Jesus story emphasizing Him as the mighty miracle worker. The second book was written by Mark, a companion to Paul on some of his missionary journeys. Matthew tells the story of Jesus from a Jewish perspective (so there are many quotes from the Old Testament). He became a follower of Jesus and witnessed, firsthand, what Jesus did and said throughout most of His earthly ministry. His incarnation story, the thirty-three years He lived on this earth as a walking, eating, breathing man, is told in just four books - four of the sixty-six books that we call The Bible.ĭISCOVER THE UNFETTERED STORY OF JESUS! The first of these four books was written by Matthew, a Jew, a tax collector (hated by his own people, the lowest of the low). ![]() The whole Bible-from beginning to its end-is about Jesus. ![]() WHAT IS THE JESUS BIBLE AND WHY SHOULD YOU BOTHER READING IT?
