Bible books in the fifth volume of Matthew Henry’s Commentary:
The four Gospels in the New Testament are the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They are considered the primary sources for the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
The Gospel of Matthew is the first book in the New Testament and is written for a Jewish audience. It begins with a genealogy of Jesus and then follows his birth, ministry, and teachings, including the Sermon on the Mount. Matthew also describes Jesus’ miracles and his interactions with his disciples and opponents. The Gospel ends by Jesus ascension.
The Gospel of Mark is the shortest of the four Gospels and is believed to have been written first. It focuses on the actions of Jesus and his miracles rather than his teachings. Mark’s Gospel also includes the betrayal, trial, and crucifixion of Jesus, as well as his resurrection.
The Gospel of Luke is written for a Gentile audience and provides a detailed account of the life of Jesus from his birth to his ascension. It includes parables, teachings, and miracles, as well as the unique story of the Good Samaritan. Luke also includes the events surrounding the birth of Jesus, such as the Annunciation to Mary and the visitation of the shepherds.
The Gospel of John is the last of the four Gospels and is the most theological in nature. It begins with a prologue that describes Jesus as the Word of God, and then follows his ministry and teachings. John includes several unique stories, such as the wedding at Cana where Jesus turns water into wine, and the raising of Lazarus from the dead. The Gospel ends with the post-resurrection appearance of Jesus to his disciples.
