The Gospel

The Gospel, from euangelion gk. meaning ‘Good News,’ a reward for Good tidings, or the Good message of Jesus, the promised Messiah or Christ of Israel and hope of the gentiles.

We refer to the four books of the Bible which tell the story of Jesus Christ as the Gospels.

These books are named for their authors: Matthew, a Jewish Apostle; Mark, a disciple of the first generation who recorded accounts of Peter and the Twelve; Luke, a gentile Physician and disciple of the first century; and John, one of the Twelve Jewish Apostles chosen by Jesus.
