The Parable Of The Marriage Feast Although the authors of the gospels of Matthew and Luke remain a mystery, the purpose behind the writings is quite evident. Both gospels appear to have two common sources: the gospel of Mark and Q source. Other unknown sources of information used in Matthew and Luke are referred to as “M” and “L,” respectively. Generally, the author of the gospel of Matthew seems to concentrate on the Old Testament and the Jewish religion. He often references the Old Testament, which followers of Judaism hold sacred. Jesus’ parable from Matthew 22:1-14 depicts a selective salvation, one in which all are invited, but few receive. The author of the gospel of Luke concentrates more on the Gentiles and the spread of Christianity to the greater Greco-Roman world. The author uses high Christology in order to depict Jesus as an ideal figure. He is shown as a kind and gentle man, a friend to any who approach him, and a savior to whom any person can relate. This portrayal is meant to appeal to the Gentiles. Both authors use different techniques to make Christianity seem appealing to their main target groups. marriage, feast, king, luke, matthew, jesus, god, servants, parable, order, author, testament, people, old, man, gospel, jews, invitations, gentiles, wedding, out, one, meant, manner, follow, christianity, authors, vengeful, tone, time, teachings, symbolize, servant, king’s, kingdom, kind, jesus’
