My faith emphasizes faith as coming from God and as truly present when the believer is "without sight", that is, without visible evidence of God.

Matthew - Temi

The Gospel of Matthew, written around 70–90 CE and traditionally attributed to the apostle Matthew, was mainly aimed at Jewish Christians to show that Jesus is the promised Messiah. Matthew emphasizes how Jesus fulfills Old Testament prophecies, often quoting Scripture to prove this. Key themes include Jesus as the new Moses and great teacher, the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven, and the call to discipleship. Important stories include the genealogy and birth of Jesus, the Sermon on the Mount, many parables and miracles, and the Great Commission, where Jesus sends his followers to spread the gospel to all nations.

My name is John Mark, however people call me Mark. I was born in Jerusalem, and acted as a companion, and helper of the Apostles. I began writing My Gospel in 70 C.E, I am a Synoptic Gospel.

2025-09-15 14:30:10 UTC

John

2025-09-15 14:39:40 UTC

Hi, I’m John and I was one of Jesus's closest disciples, sometimes I was called “the disciple whom Jesus loved.” I was crucified and later, I wrote the Gospel of John so that people could believe in Jesus and have life through Him. I wanted to show who Jesus really is. He is the Son of God and the Word made flesh. If I was to be represented by a symbol, it would be an eagle.The eagle resembles a vision and rising, which connects to how my Gospel looks at Jesus from a deeper, spiritual level.

The Gospel of Luke

2025-09-15 14:42:44 UTC

The Gospel of Luke was written around 85 C.E., by an unknown author which is thought to be a Gentile doctor. His writings explore the life of Jesus and early Christian church. Scholars believe Luke was likely a Gentile from a Hellenistic city, such as Antioch.

Luke

Luke was a physician, a Gentile and a friend of the apostle Paul. Unlike Paul Luke was not one of Jesus’ original twelve disciples but rather a later follower of Christ. Luke wrote both the Gospel of Luke and the book of acts (Acts of the Apostles).

Mark

The Gospel of Mark was written around 70 C.E as the author is not confirmed, but most likely John Mark, a man who is mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles. This gospel is the second and one of the three synoptic Gospels.
