There is a parallel account in Mark 1:16–20 and a similar but different story in Luke 5:1–11, the Luke story not including the phrase "fishers of men" (or similar wording). The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges calls Matthew 4:19 a "condensed parable", [ 1 ] drawn out at slightly greater length later in the same gospel.
[2] [3] It appears in Matthew 4:18–22, Mark 1:16-20 and Luke 5:1–11 on the Sea of Galilee. John 1:35–51 reports the first encounter with two of the disciples a little earlier in the presence of John the Baptist. Particularly in the Gospel of Mark, the beginning of the Ministry of Jesus and the call of the first disciples are inseparable. [4]
John's Gospel relates Jesus convincing Nathanael to join this group in John 1:43–51. Mark says they had nets in Mark 1:16 and they and their father, Zebedee, employed other men in Mark 1:20. Karris argues this shows they had money and a high probability of being educated, with a knowledge of the Jewish Bible.
Most scholars believe that the Gospel of Mark was the first gospel and was used as a source by the authors of Matthew and Luke. [12] Mark uses the cursing of the barren fig tree to bracket and comment on the story of the Jewish temple: Jesus and his disciples are on their way to Jerusalem when Jesus curses a fig tree because it bears no fruit; in Jerusalem he drives the money-changers from the ...
Henderson views this as Mark making a connection to the Resurrection, suggesting that a woman grievously ill has been restored to new life demonstrated by service to others. [ 3 ] In the majority of readings of Matthew 8:15 , she began to wait upon "him" (i.e. Jesus) but in the Textus Receptus she began to wait upon "them" ( Greek ...
Mark 14 states that Jesus was taken that night "to the high priest" (without naming the priest), where all the chief priests and the elders gathered. According to John's gospel, Jesus was taken not to Caiaphas but to Annas, [3] who questioned him only privately. A former high priest and father-in-law of Caiaphas, Annas remained very influential.
In Mark 12:40 [11] and Luke 20:47, [12] Jesus accuses the Temple authorities of thieving and, in this instance, names poor widows as their victims, going on to provide evidence of this in Mark 12:42 [13] and Luke 21:2. [14] Dove sellers were selling doves to be sacrificed by the poor, specifically by women, who could not afford grander sacrifices.
Mark and Luke do not connect the verse to the Sermon. Jesus Christ reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" Instantly he was healed of his leprosy. Then Jesus said to him, "See that you don't tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."
