Gospel Compare free teaching handout ====================================== Use this handout for teachers, Bible study leaders, and small groups. Core comparison questions ------------------------- 1. Which Gospels narrate the event directly? 2. Which Gospel gives the shortest account? 3. Which Gospel adds a detail the others do not include? 4. Does the row include a textual note or an absence note? 5. What claim can be made from the comparison, and what claim would need more evidence? Starter rows to compare ----------------------- - Feeding of the 5,000: compare all four accounts and note John's Passover setting. - The baptism of Jesus: compare the Synoptic accounts and the Johannine witness. - The Last Supper: compare institution language, meal setting, and Johannine emphasis. - Empty tomb: compare named visitors, angelic messengers, and first responses.
