Demons defeated

A difficult report in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, has assistance to humans by Jesus, connected to deaths of pigs.

Be Freed!


Free? or slave? These were crucial person categories in Jesus’ day.  Ordinary people seemed shocked then when Jesus said he could set them free. In John chapter 8 this offer of freedom is made clear.

Mark

How does Mark's Gospel compare with John's? (How with Luke and Matthew?) Like this.....
Sample on left is from Mark 15; on right is from John. Both are CEV.

The "Event"

Previously (April, 2015) I posted a compilation account of Jesus. It is a kind of "Life". It is also available via the above "page" link.

The basis of the content is the Gospel of Mark, with small contributions from Matthew and Luke, plus some of John.

The concept is to allow a reader to easily read a version of the story of Jesus online in continuous form.

The original was unfortunately replete with HTML formatting issues, because I had used simple "copy and paste" into Blogger.

"The Jesus Event" is now re-done and corrected. I have taken the opportunity to ensure full compliance with copyright requirements (no complete chapters from one publication, etc). Versions I used are more or less arbitrarily alternated, with no preference implied or intended.

The Jesus Event
a compiled presentation

Following is a presentation of Jesus derived from Mark, with additions from John, and substitutions (shorter) from Matthew and Luke. (I ended up with about 15,500 words; 25 pages.)
You might instead simply read Mark in whatever version you wish, e.g. via Bible Gateway.com.

This is the good news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
