Matthew and Luke address Jesus' proof of Messiahship. But, Jesus reveals that only ONE SIGN proves it:
"...certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But He answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: for as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's (fish's) belly; so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." (Matt.12:38-40 & Luke 11:29)

What gospel shows Jesus as friend to all?
The gospel of John
Was Paul or any of the authors of the four gospels an eyewitness to Jesus' miracles?
It is undisputed that Paul was not an eyewitness to the miracles that are recorded in the four gospels. Christian tradition hold that the Gospels according to Matthew, Mark and John were written by disciples of that name, who were eyewitnesses to some of the miracles that they reported. Since Christian tradition hold that Luke's Gospel was written by a young companion of Paul, then the author of this gospel was clearly not an eyewitness of the miracles. Matthew's Gospel was written in Greek and clearly used Mark's Gospel as its main source for the life of Jesus, as did Luke's Gospel. This can be shown because whenever Matthew and Luke agree with Mark, the Greek words are almost identical, something that could not have occurred if Matthew was relying on personal memory. Whenever Matthew and Luke agree on sayings of Jesus, that are not in Mark's Gospel, they use identical words for the sayings, but place them in different contexts and even different times of the ministry of Jesus. Scholars say they must have used as their sources a common document of sayings attributed to Jesus, a document now known as the Q Document, and created plausible contexts in which Jesus could have spoken those sayings. The fact that Matthew, as well as Luke, relied so heavily on Mark and the Q Document means that this author could not have been an eye-witness to the miracles. John's Gospel was also written in Greek and shows evidence of borrowing much of its material from Luke's Gospel. Once again, this author could not have been an eye-witness to the miracles. Only the author of Mark's Gospel could have been an eye-witness to the miracles, but much evidence internal to this gospel indicates that he was really writing a second-hand account. In summary, none of these authors was an eye-witness to the miracles.

What was the message of Saint Mark's Gospel?
Maurice Goguel (Jesus the Nazarene: Myth or History?, 1926) remarked that the Gospel According to St Mark is composed of an introduction and of four portions, of which the first may be subdivided into eight sections. It has a 3-part plan: psychological, since it rests upon the idea of the development of the Jewish opposition and the disciples' lack of intelligence; logical and chronological, since it shows in the events the reaction after the welcome given to Jesus; geographical, since it divides the history of Jesus into three periods: Galilean, itinerant, and then Jerusalem. However, in spite of his Gospel being called a well-planned book, Mark seems a poor writer, often writing ungrammatically and hardly knowing how to write a narrative.Mark frequently stressed that Jesus instructed witnesses to his miracles to keep his true identity a secret. Dennis R MacDonald (The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark) argues persuasively that this was the result of Homeric influence, with Jesus a counterpart to Odysseus, who also had to keep his identity secret. A possible further reason could be that Mark, which was the first gospel to be written, needed to show why few people had ever heard of Jesus, who supposedly performed so many great wonders and miracles in the recent past.Mark's Gospel has also been called a story of the death of Jesus with a long introduction. Far more than the later gospels (Matthew, Luke and John), Mark's Gospel is about the period leading up to and just after the death of Jesus.AnswerDeath , burial and resurection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Mark highlights the power of Jesus as the Son of God, and the Messiah.
What are the Holy Bible views on prosperity?
AnswerIn the Old Testament, prosperity among the Hebrews was believed to show favour of God. In the New Testament, the gospels say that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven. The Gospel of Luke and Acts of the Apostles show high regard for the poor. On the other hand, the Gospel of John shows many of Jesus' friends as wealthy and powerful, and Jesus performed many of his best miracles for his rich friends.
What does Jesus want disciples to know about the wine?
There is no suggestion in the gospels that any of the disciples ever knew about Jesus converting water into wine. In fact this story was entirely unknown until reported in John's Gospel, which was written anonymously around the end of the first century and which scholars say could not have been written by one of the disciples. In any case, there is no suggestion that any of the disciples was present at this private wedding. John's Gospel demonstrates that Jesus was able to perform any of the miracles previously attributed only to the pagan gods. This account shows that, just as Dionysis was reportedly able to turn water into wine, so was Jesus able to do the same.
The Gospel of John shows many similarities with?

What is unique about Lukess picture of Jesus?
Luke's gospel shows some Romans in a positive light. It is speculated by some that it was part of Paul's evidence at his trial in Rome.
What did the Gospel of Mark mainly talk about?
A:Mark's Gospel does not contain any of the sayings material that the Gospels of Matthew and Luke obtained from the hypothetical 'Q' document. Scholars say that this indicates simply that Q was unknown to the author of Mark. Matthew, Luke and John also contain, in each case, material that is unique to that gospel. Scholars do not know the sources of that material, but its omission from Mark was once again a matter of the material having been unknown to the author of the first gospel. This includes the nativity story of Matthew and the nativity story of Luke, and the two genealogies of Jesus, each demonstrating that Joseph was descended from King David and that Jesus was destined for greatness.Mark originally ended at verse 16:8, with the young man telling the women that Jesus was risen and they fled in terror, telling no one. The original gospel left out the 'Long Ending' (16:9-20) that was added much later, telling of the appearances of the risen Jesus.
