The Four Gospels and Acts

The Four Gospels and Acts

Introduction

In this essay we have to read the Bible books Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts and record where power was released. Each of the four gospels and the book on Acts contained in the New Testament portrays a different and unique portrait and power of Jesus.
