Appendix: Shared Accounts in the Gospels
One challenge of teaching the Gospels sequentially is dealing with shared accounts—teachings and events in the Savior’s life that are recorded in more than one of the Gospels. Some teachers have struggled with how to teach these shared accounts in a way that does not become repetitive and uninteresting. This may be partially avoided by being aware of the distinctive contributions and themes of each Gospel writer and deciding where a shared account should be emphasized and where it may be summarized. This teacher manual has been prepared to guide you in that process. This manual recommends that shared accounts be taught with emphasis from the Gospel that contains the greatest detail about the account or that presents the account in a prominent thematic way. Chart 1 shows the themes and characteristics of each Gospel. Chart 2 uses bold text to show where a shared account is emphasized in this manual.

|
Main Themes |
Jesus Christ was the Jewish Messiah. He fulfilled the prophecies of the Old Testament. God is with His covenant people. Jewish members of the post-Resurrection Church should support the Apostles’ missionary work among the Gentiles. |
Jesus Christ was the Son of God, who came to suffer the Atonement. He had authority from God but was misunderstood even by his disciples and family. His followers are to live lives of humility and service, being willing to deny themselves and even suffer persecution. |
Jesus Christ was the Savior for all people. Jesus is mindful of the poor, Gentiles, women, sinners, and the outcasts of society. The demands of discipleship. |
Jesus Christ is the divine Son of God who came as “the Word” from heaven to reveal the Father. |
|
Distinctive Characteristics |
Account of Jesus Christ’s birth; organized around five main sermons; importance of the Church, Peter, and Apostolic keys |
More emphasis on Jesus Christ’s deeds than His teachings; fast-paced and dramatic; descriptions of Jesus’s compassion and emotion |
Part one of a two-volume work (Luke–Acts); foreshadows the pattern in Acts of Jewish rejection and Gentile acceptance of the gospel; account of Jesus’s birth; parables and stories portraying dramatic reversals; emphasis on the power of the Holy Spirit; importance of Jerusalem and the temple |
The premortal existence of Jesus Christ; light versus darkness; spiritual rebirth; alternating accounts of miraculous deeds and Jesus’s teaching; emphasis on Jesus’s ministry in Judea and Jerusalem; Jesus Christ’s “I am” statements; relatively little material in common with the other three gospels |
