The four books that tell the story of Jesus' life?

The four books that tell the story of Jesus' life are called the Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each Gospel provides a unique perspective on Jesus' teachings, miracles, and crucifixion. Matthew and Luke include genealogies and birth narratives, while Mark and John focus more on Jesus' ministry and theological significance. Together, these four books form the foundation of the New Testament and are essential to understanding the Christian faith.

What was Mary told to do after finding tomb empty?

In Matthew's Gospel, the angel who rolled away the stone told Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to go quickly and tell the disciples that Jesus was risen. On the way to tell the disciples, they met Jesus, who told them to tell the disciples to go to Galilee, where he would meet them.Mark's Gospel has a similar account. The tomb was already open when Mary Magdalene, the other Mary and Salome arrived. The young man they found inside the tomb told them to go quickly and tell the disciples that Jesus was risen and to go to Galilee, where he would meet them, but they ran away and told no one.In Luke's Gospel, the two men who were in the tomb told the women what had happened. They were not told to do anything, but nevertheless they told the disciples, who did not believe them.In John's Gospel, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb while it was still dark, but found the stone had been taken away. She did not know that the tomb was empty and spoke to no one, but ran and told Peter and the "disciple whom Jesus loved".


Why did Jesus tell his disciples not to tell others of what they had seen at the Transfiguration?

Mark 9:9 - Now as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no onethe things they had seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead.Jesus didn't command them not to tell anyone what they had seen; He commanded them not to tell anyone YET. It was quite common for Jesus to teach his "inner circle" something that they were not to proclaim until later; after either His resurrection or ascension.John 16:4 - But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.It's also quite easy to understand why Jesus sometimes told people to remain silent about His miracles; sensationalism could actually hinder His ministry, so He occasionally took steps to avoid it. There's nothing "strange" about it. It was simply a matter of prudence.[Quotes from NKJV]

Why was John the Baptist baptized in the Jordan river?

Most people will tell you that Jesus did not need to be baptised. If He did not need to be baptised then His baptism was nothing more than a symbolic gesture. Would Jesus debase Baptism in this way? Obviously not! According to Jesus' discussion with Nicodemus baptism is our actual spitiual birth allowing us to enter the Kingdom of heaven. It should also be noted that Jesus was human (the Son of Man) as well as divine and He was baptised by John "for thus it is fitting for us to fulfil all righteousness...... And when Jesus was baptised, he went up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him; and lo, a voice from heaven, saying, 'This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.'" (Matthew Ch 3) thus confirming His entry into the Kingdom of Heaven and His sonship of God who is King of Kings and therefore eligible to rule over the Kingdom of Heaven by birth even as the "Son of Man". Because the Jordan is the main Israel river and it was a holy river for ancient Jews
