Somewhat Different


I started the Gospel of Luke. It seems to be quite different in the beginning compared to the gospel of Mark. The story starts out with John, the Baptizer, being born by an old couple, with the help of God. Unlike the Gospel according to Mark, it explains the birth of Jesus. Then, I noticed how similar the birth of Jesus was to that of John. They were both born through the power of God, and they both taught the righteous way to heaven.

Besides that, both gospels seem to be similar, just that the gospel of Luke tells us more stories of Jesus' miracles. One of them involved a centurion's young servant being cured from a far distance for believing that it will, in fact, happen. Jesus said:

"I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel." (Gospel of Luke 7:9) and the servant's sickness went away.

So yeah, cool.
