Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. How would we know of his life without the Gospels? The Gospels give people insight to the way Jesus lived his life, and how it was taken away so that we all may live. There are four different Gospel writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and each has their own unique vision of Jesus’s life. Matthew’s Gospel is the most read, his is also the longest and most complete of the four. Also, Matthew wrote for the Jews of the time to try to get them to convert.

Jesus in return asked them why they disobey God. They are supposed to honor their father and mother, and if they curse them they should die. But what they really say is any support you might have had from me is dedicated to God, need not honor his father. They have nullified the word of God for the sake of their traditions.
