The first 4 books of the [[The Bible
''Matthew'' - Matt compares Old Testament scripture with Jesus' deeds to appeal to Jews.
Line 16:
* [[Author Avatar]]: The [[Naked People Are Funny|naked guy]] mentioned in Mark 14:51-52 was probably Mark himself.
** And "the disciple who Jesus loved" referred to often in the Book of John was John himself.
* [[Away in
* [[Back From the Dead]]: Famously, Lazarus--and {{spoiler|Jesus}}. Other examples include a girl in Mark 5.
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: Jesus is gone but the apostles vow to spread his message to the rest of the world.
* [[Contemplate Our Navels]]: John
* [[Crucified Hero Shot]]: The [[Trope Maker]].
* [[Deal
* [[Depending
* [[The Dutiful Son]]: [[Ur Example|First appeared]] as the counterpart to the title character in Jesus' parable of the Prodigal Son. Jesus makes the point that he's not really morally superior to his wayward brother.
* [[Face Death

** The Book of John, written by John the Apostle, opens up by introducing another John, John the Baptist.
** Also, depending how you count, there may be as many as four women (and definitely at least two) named Mary, apart from Jesus' Mother.
** There are even two [[Nice Job Breaking It, Herod|Herods]]-- Herod the Great and Herod Antipas.
* [[Pals
* [[Real Men Love Jesus]]: Oh yes. Most of the disciples qualify, for a start.
* [[Rashomon Style]]: There's a reason this page isn't called "The One Gospel." The four different versions of the story mostly serve to complement and expand on each other, though a few points are harder to reconcile. Among scholars, this is known as the [[wikipedia:Gospel harmony|"Harmony of the Gospels"]]; you can even buy editions of [[The Bible]] that lay out the four accounts side by side for easy comparison.
