A:

In the three synoptic gospels, Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. He suffered alone and in agony, asking God that, if possible, he take this cup (his destiny to be crucified) away. In the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, his last words on the cross, when he finally realised that God had not heard his prayers in the garden, were, "My God. My God. Why hast thou forsaken me?" Luke's Gospel has the prayer in the Garden, but not Jesus' later realisation that God had forsaken him.

For theological reasons, John's Gospel does not have the unanswered prayer in the Garden, rather a triumphant prayer before reaching the Garden.

How did the gospels come to be written?

The Gospels came to be written by man....through God....the gospels are the life of Jesus Christ from birth to his years of ministering to God to his gruesome death....


Who are what group or people were the gospels written for?

Matthew was written primarily for the Jews. Luke was written for the believing Romans or non-Jews. John was written for gnostics--people who believed more in knowledge and mysticism. Mark was probably the earliest Gospel written, and written for the followers of Jesus.


Which book has the most miracles recorded in the New Testament?

Luke records 19 miracles. Matthew and Mark record 18 each, and John has 8. Most of the record is harmonized but some Gospels include miracles not recorded in the others.


Do the Gospels of Mark and John have detailed birth narratives?

A:No, there is nothing about the birth of Jesus in either Markor John. Writing some years before Matthew and Luke were written, theauthor of Mark simply knew nothing about the nativity traditions. John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) says that in his view, neither birth story, in Matthew and Luke, contains any historical truth. In the case of John's Gospel, which was loosely based on Luke's Gospel, it appears that the author omitted Luke's birth story simply because he did not accept it to be factual.


What limits do the Gospels have as a historical source?

The gospels are unique documents, they are not stories based on facts, they are not academic historical documents, they are recounts of personal experiences of several members of a community, they are written to help people to the conversion of faith, for which it is evident the intention and the bias of the writings, is a truthful record of historical facts

How many times did Jesus say the your Father in the garden before his death?

The prayer that Jesus introduced to the disciples is known as The Lord's Prayer, or Our Father, which are the prayer's opening words. (Matthew 6:9-13) According to the gospel record, He only delivered it once, and NOT in the garden and NOT just before His death. Rather, it was fairly early on in His ministry and within the Sermon on the Mount (Begins at Matthew 5:1) [NOT the Mount of Olives] that this prayer was introduced.

How long does a prayer for judgment in a criminal case stay on your record?

It's not the 'prayer for judgement' that remains on your criminal record, it is the actual judgement itself. Unless you take action to have the judgement expunged (if eligible), it will always remain on your criminal history record.


Who gave the orders to free the disciples during the arrest of Gethsemane?

As long as you're talking about the famous betrayal of Jesus Christ by Judas Iscariot at Gethsemane, then no one actually gave orders to free Jesus' disciples. The three gospels Matthew, Mark, and Luke only describe how the disciples fled at Jesus' arrest, but John 18:8 says, "Jesus answered, 'I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way.'" However, John does not record that the disciples were under arrest and that Jesus was "freeing" them--only that He was commanding (by His authority as the Son of God, though the soldiers arresting Him were trying to deny that) that they not be arrested.
