How was Jesus characterized differently in each of the four gospels (Mark, John, Matthew, Luke)? Did each of the four gospels characterize him differently?

The principle thing to remember is that the Gospel were written in different contexts. The intended audience was different as well as the circumstances and the year in which they were written. These factors have an impact on the way Jesus is portrayed by the authors and the different emphases which is given to different elements of Jesus’ message. Matthew (written between 70-80 AD) is believed to be written for a Jewish audience and therefore emphasises the elements of Jesus’ life and message which demonstrate that he fulfils the expectations of the Jewish people for a Messiah. Mark (possibly as early as 62 AD) is the shortest Gospel and was written during a time of very dangerous persecution of the Christian community. Mark explains Jewish customs and so is therefore probably written for an audience that includes non-Jews (called Gentiles). The Gospel of Mark is very focussed on the message of Jesus to repent, convert and be saved. Luke (possibly written around 62-63 AD) was written by a Gentile author and therefore he emphasises the element of Jesus’ message which speaks of Jesus as a Messiah for all people and not only for the Jews. John (written around 85 AD) was written with a particular aim of denying a false teaching which was circulating at the time which denied that Jesus was God. John emphasis Jesus’ divinity in his Gospel and provides more theological understanding of the nature of Jesus and his relationship to his followers.

A tutor above the rest

My greatest passion in life is learning and my second greatest passion is teaching which also involves learning. A little bit about me. I was raised in Turkey, France, Pakistan and the UK. I've experienced great success throughout my life due to the amazingly approachable, friendly and unforgettable teachers that I've studied with and from. This, in fact, is the foundation of my commitment to helping my students. I've been tutoring and teaching for 6 years in small and large groups, 1 to 1 lessons to classrooms, from secondary to university students. Feel free to ask me about anything.

Supportive qualified primary teacher

I gained my PGCE from the University of Nottingham and am currently supply teaching across various schools. Teaching in different schools and age ranges provides me with an in-depth knowledge of the National Curriculum requirements of all subjects at all primary age levels, whilst I am able to adapt on a daily basis. I cater for different learning styles through a mixed learning approach as I use various methods to help all learners – this includes the use of visual resources and learning through a hands-on approach. My lessons include varied activities, promoting creativity, and I ensure that high expectations are set and pupils’ learning is stretched accordingly to achieve these expectations. I am caring, supportive and positive. My enthusiasm for education transfers well during teaching, allowing children to develop a thirst for learning. I understand that each child is unique and all require a secure, caring and stimulating atmosphere, and I can help children to meet their potential through an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas.

Relatively new tutor with 2 months of experience tutoring science and maths.

My name is Zuzanna and I'm currently an A-level student studying biology, chemistry, maths and Spanish. I'm very eager to share my knowledge and hope that you will choose me to be your tutor. In my time at school I have participated in the UKMT maths challenge and received a bronze and a silver certificate on two separate occasions. I have participated in house maths at my school as well as the in the Royal Engineering Masterclass at Brunel University in year 9. These have all helped me gain a deeper understanding of maths and physics. I was also selected to participate in an inter-school Spanish competition in year 8. Recently, I have taken part in Biology Champions and Chemistry Champions from the RVC which have helped me understand the 2 subjects better. I run a STEM club at school for KS2 so have experience in planning lessons and executing them. I have also helped some family members with their work and taught my brother to read in Polish.
