Using a story drawn from at least three of the Gospels, synthesize the accounts in your own words, providing commentary. You will quickly learn that creating a synthesis is indeed a more difficult task than most people expect. You can locate parallel Gospel accounts of the same story on various websites (e.g., http://www.bible-researcher.com/parallels.html#sect2 (Links to an external site.)). The passage must be inclusive of at least five verses in each of the three Gospels used. For example, an account of John the Baptist appears in all four Gospels and is at least five verses long in each. A synthesis of all four stories would include perspectives from all four accounts, explaining how they align and/or differ.
For this discussion, you only need to put the Bible version in the references, not as part of each in-text citation as is now required by APA 7th edition. Please use the [Book Chapter: Verse] format for in-text citations, as in the example below.
“During the reign of the Roman Caesar Tiberius (Luke 3:1), a man came on the scene in Israel named John the Baptist (Mark 1:4). It’s interesting to note that only the passages in Mark and Matthew use that particular name for him. Otherwise, he is variously known as John, son of Zechariah (Luke 3:2), or just plain John, “a man sent from God” (John 1:6). He must have been quite the sight since he is regularly described as wearing a garment made of camel’s hair with a leather belt (Matthew 3:4; Mark 1:6) as he went about preaching a message of repentance (Luke 3:2; Mark 1:4; Matthew 3:2).”
Please include word counts in parentheses at the end of every post and reply (e.g. 422 words).
Throughout this course, you will respond to 5 Discussion prompts. You are required to create a
thread in response to the provided promptly for each Discussion. Each thread must be 400–500
words and demonstrate course-related knowledge. In addition to the thread, you are required to
reply to at least 2 classmates’ threads
