What do Gospels talk about?

Answer 1

The word gospel literally means "good news". Basically, the gospels tell of the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The good news is that Jesus paid the penalty for your sins, if you accept him.

Answer 2

A:The Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke are often referred to as the synoptic gospels because they agree moderately on the life and mission of Jesus - thus 'synoptic', seeing with the same eye. Many of the same stories are in same sequence and use exactly the same words in the original Greek language. Mark's Gospel was the first gospel, written anonymously around 70 CE, with Matthewfollowing ten to twenty years later, then Luke. The authors of Matthew and Luke are known to have copied everything they knew about the life and mission of Jesus from Mark, hence the close similarity in the wording. But Matthew and Luke are also based in part on sayings material taken from the hypothetical 'Q' document, a reason for further similarities between the last two synoptic gospels.

In one way, the words correspond more closely among the three synoptic gospels than do the narratives. This is because the authors of Matthew and Luke wanted to 'improve' the original stories they found in Mark. A too-simple story would be elaborated or an apparent geographical error corrected. An example is in the last words of Jesus on the cross. In Mark's Gospel, Christ's very last words on the cross were, "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me? [taken from Psalm 22:1]" This was the cry of a very human Jesus, and the author of Luke(and the author of John) felt they were inappropriate for the dying Saviour, changing them to the more noble "Father into thy hands I commend my spirit." The author of Matthewused the last words from Mark, perhaps recognising the words as a verse from a psalm.

The gospels are at pains to exonerate the Romans for the crucifixion of Jesus, making it very apparent that the fault lay entirely with the Jews, and not with Pontius Pilate or any Roman. The Christian evangelists knew they had to deal with the Romans, but they would suffer little by insulting the Jews.

The gospels are not just biographies, nor are they history. They are scriptures. As such they had to win converts and present Jesus and the new religion in a favourable light to persuade the Romans that Christianity would be no threat to the Romans peace.

Answer 3

They revolve around the Christian story of redemption through Jesus Christ - including His origin, His ministry, His teachings, and eventually culminating in his death on a cross and resurrection in three days. All four gospels have around the same record, although some of the wording is different and they differ slightly in content.

Another Answer:

The four Gospels are different accounts of Jesus' teaching about the government of God called the Kingdom of God. Three are quite similar and called 'synoptic' or from the same eye - even having the same wording in places.It is from Jesus as the Father had instructed and desired and not centered about Jesus.Jesus Christ came preaching the gospel, or "good news," of the Kingdom of God. It's the same gospel He commanded to be preached to the whole world:

Mark 1:15New King James Version (NKJV)

15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel."

Answer 4
