Which Is Your Favourite Gospel?

[Nihil Obstat]

Just curious. I like John the most, especially the first chapter and the last chapter. Especially especially the parts I have bolded below:
 
John 1: 1-14 (The Last Gospel in the usus antiquior)

[1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made. [4] In him was life, and the life was the light of men. [5] And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

[6] There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. [7] This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him. [8] He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light. [9] That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. [10] He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

[11] He came unto his own, and his own received him not. [12] But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name. [13] Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. [14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 
 

 

John 21: 16-25

[16] He saith to him again: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He saith to him: Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs. [17] He said to him the third time: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved, because he had said to him the third time: Lovest thou me? And he said to him: Lord, thou knowest all things: thou knowest that I love thee. He said to him: Feed my sheep. [18] Amen, amen I say to thee, when thou wast younger, thou didst gird thyself, and didst walk where thou wouldst. But when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and lead thee whither thou wouldst not. [19] And this he said, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had said this, he saith to him: Follow me. [20] Peter turning about, saw that disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned on his breast at supper, and said: Lord, who is he that shall betray thee?
[21] Him therefore when Peter had seen, he saith to Jesus: Lord, and what shall this man do? [22] Jesus saith to him: So I will have him to remain till I come, what is it to thee? follow thou me. [23] This saying therefore went abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die. And Jesus did not say to him: He should not die; but, So I will have him to remain till I come, what is it to thee? [24] This is that disciple who giveth testimony of these things, and hath written these things; and we know that his testimony is true. [25] But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written.

I voted Luke for the Marian elements :)

[GeorgiiMichael]

I've always been partial to Luke-Acts. 

[Groo the Wanderer]

You left out a few:

 

Peter

Thomas

Nicodemus

Pseudo-Matthew

Nativity of Mary

Infancy of the Savior

 

 

oh wait.  you meant just the canonical Gospels?   nvm.  carry on...

[OnlySunshine]

I LOVE the Gospel of Luke.  We are studying it in my Bible Study group and it is so Marian.  :love:

[Basilisa Marie]

But you can't get much better than the logos passage in John 1.  :)   John's theology is the bomb. 

[Apotheoun]

John's Gospel is my favorite.  I love the connections between that Gospel and the Book of Genesis.

[Era Might]

Probably Matthew, I like the story of his call as a disciple, plus I like Matthew 25.

[brianthephysicist]

I voted John because I like how he refers to himself as "the disciple whom Jesus loved".  It allows me to put myself into his shoes easier.

[xTrishaxLynnx]

It's a tough call for me between Matthew and Luke...

[Papist]

Matthew b/c of its catechsis element.

[eagle_eye222001]

Matthew.

 

1.  Only one with the magi

2.  Matthew's passage on Peter being the rock (16)

3.  Jesus's rant against the Pharisees (23)

4.  It was very likely and traditionally the first gospel written.

Traditionally first? Sure.  Likely to be first? Nope - Mark was first.  :)

 

Because Matthew and Luke probably drew from Mark and another source, because how else do you explain all the similarities between the three?  

[MissyP89]

Luke. Love me some baby Jesus.

John is my favorite gospel but it is not my favorite scripture in the Bible.

 

This is my favorite:  Taken from the Douay Rheims

 

Phillipians 2:5-11

⁵ For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

⁶ Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

⁷ But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.

⁸ He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.

⁹ For which cause God also hath exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above all names:

¹⁰ That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth:

¹¹ And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.

⁹ Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

¹⁰ That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

¹¹ And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
