If you are referring to the many different sides of His personality it is because the writers wanted to make sure we were able to take in the whole "person" of Christ. Just as we individually have differing attitudes and tendencies, so did Christ. Christians drawn closer to the Savior by knowing, learning, and reading more about Him.

How many times did Jesus cast out demons in the four Gospels?

In the four Gospels, Jesus is recorded to have cast out demons multiple times, with specific instances mentioned in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The exact number is not specifically mentioned in the Gospels.


Did Jesus really speak all the words the Gospels say He said?

A:Probably not. The original known accounts of Jesus' mission are Mark's Gospel and the hypothetical 'Q' document so any words, attributed to Jesus but not in these two books, are unlikely to have been spoken by Jesus.Even Mark's author used poetic licence in attributing words to Jesus. He says that Jesus's last words on the cross were, "My God. My God. Why hast thou forsaken me?" But this was taken verbatim from Psalm 2:1, something a dyingman would not think to do.

Why is the incident at the Temple given different placement in the Gospels?

The synoptic gospels all place this incident at the end of the gospel, where it was the catalyst for the arrest of Jesus. The earliest synoptic gospel, from which the others were substantially copied, is Mark's Gospel, which emphasised that Jesus sought to remain anonymous and even commanded many of those whom he cured to tell no one. So, the Cleansing of the Temple was also important in bringing Jesus to the attention of authorities.John's Gospel, on the other hand, has the same incident at the beginning of the gospel. In this gospel, Jesus did not make any effort to hide his true nature, on the contrary making every effort to proclaim his mission. It was consistent with this theme that he would declare his interest in the Temple of his Father as soon as possible. As opposed to the synoptics, the Cleansing of the Temple was not needed in order to bring Jesus to the attention of the high priest. In John chapter 12, the people of Jerusalem began to follow Jesus because of the resurrection of Lazarus, with the anxious Pharisees fearing for their power over the Jews and saying among themselves, "Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? Behold the world is gone after him." For John, this was a much more powerful catalyst for the arrest of Jesus than the incident in the Temple.
