• The Gospel of Matthew is the first book of the New Testament of the Bible and one of the three synoptic Gospels. It tells how Israel's Messiah, Jesus, comes to his people (the Jews) but is rejected by them and how, after his resurrection, he sends the disciples to the gentiles instead.

• GOSPEL OF MARK

  He is also sometimes referred to as Mark the Evangelist because he was known for speaking out and teaching about Jesus and working to convert others to Christianity.

• Luke was a physician and possibly a Gentile. He was not one of the original 12 Apostles but may have been one of the 70 disciples appointed by Jesus (Luke 10). He was born on Antioch, Turkiye 16 AD, and died on 84 AD which martyred at age 84 in the Greek city of Thebes.
• Luke's Gospel is clearly written for Gentile converts: it traces Christ's genealogy, for example, back to Adam, the “father” of the human race rather than to Abraham, the father of the Jewish people. The date and place of composition are uncertain, but many date the Gospel to 63–70 ce, others somewhat later.
• LUKE became a follower after the Lord's death, when Paul taught him the gospel. Luke had been a physician, but he left that profession to travel with Paul. He had the opportunity to talk with many of the Apostles as well as others who were eyewitnesses to special events or moments in the Lord's life.
• The Gospel of John is the fourth of the four canonical gospels in the New Testament. It contains a highly schematic account of the ministry of Jesus, with seven "signs" culminating in the raising of Lazarus and seven "I am" discourses culminating in Thomas' proclamation of the risen Jesus as "my Lord and my God".
• JOHN A fisherman with his father Zebedee, a fisherman from Galilee, and his brother James, another follower of Jesus, he was soon called to be another disciple by Jesus. John accompanied Jesus on his travels and was there for many important events.

• Christ’s kingship is rooted in the Church’s teaching on the Incarnation.

• “I am the living bread which came down out of heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.” -John 6:51
• Jesus is fully God and fully man. He is both the divine Lord and the man who suffered and died on the Cross. One person of the Trinity unites Himself to human nature and reigns over all creation as the Incarnate Son of God.
• He must reign in our wills, which should obey the laws and the precepts of God.
• He must reign in our minds, which should assent with perfect submission and firm belief to revealed truths and to the doctrines of Christ.
• He must reign in our hearts, which should spurn natural desires and love God above all things, and cleave to Him alone.
• He must reign in our bodies and in our members, which serve as instruments for the interior sanctification of our souls, or to use the words of the Apostle Paul, ‘as instruments of justice unto God.’
