How do Mark Matthew and Luke use their theological themes to present their picture of Jesus as a teacher and a healer through parables and miracles?

Matthew presents Jesus as the promised messiah. The Old Testament gave many prophesies regarding Jesus and so Matthew reveals Jesus as the promised messiah. Mark presents Jesus as a servant. In many instances you will find Jesus serving others. He even went as far as washing His diciples feet, a job that was reserved for a servant. Luke presents Jesus as the son of man. He is God and at the same time he was born of a virgin (Mary). Jesus is both God and man. So Luke focuses his attention on the Man side of Jesus (Son of man).

What is the last name of Joseph the stepfather of Jesus?
