Comparison_Of_Matthew_&_Mark

Comparison Of Matthew & Mark In reading the Gospels according to Mark and Matthew I was fascinated by many things. I have never read the Gospels before, and was taken back by the differences between the two interpretations of the meaning of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. Mark’s interpretation is very fast paced, and reminds me of the script for an action movie. Unlike Matthew’s explanation, Mark has little tolerance for dialogue and personal reflection. Matthew warms up his audience by giving the some historical background before documentation of a miracle by Jesus; Mark covers three miracles in the first chapter. I found it interesting that both Matthew and Mark did not begin their interpretations with the story Jesus’ birth. Matthew begins with a historical research of Jesus’ family tree; I feel he is trying to prove the Jewish theory that Jesus is mark, jesus’, matthew, jesus, resurrection, once, little, life, interpretations, historical, gospels, gospel, death, begins, before, according, while, wearing, warms, view, very, unlike, understand, two, trying, truly, tree, touch, tolerance, three, things, theory, taken, story, start, spirit
