The story of the days of Jesus are chronicled in four different books of the Bible – we call them the “Gospels.” These four books are eyewitness accounts of who Jesus was and what He did. They are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Most of them begin in a similar way. Matthew, Mark, and Luke all start with an explanation of their purpose. Matthew starts with a genealogy of the family of Jesus. Mark starts his Gospel by saying, “This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Mark was a simple, obvious guy. I like him for that. Luke starts out his story by explaining how he interviewed different people and wrote out their details.

John is different.
