2. Regarding topics 3.2.1, and 3.2.2 compare and contrast the series of pericopes among Matthew (## 10-16), Mark (## 1-3), and Luke (## 9-20). This comparison should include the following:

• Use the outline structure of the Life of Christ as an organizing frame of reference.
• The outline heading for topics 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 is II. Beginning of Public Ministry.
• Description of passages where the gospels intersect one another, that is,  the double and triple tradition material. Describe both the similarities and differences in these common pericopes both in terms of their internal content and their literary setting in each gospel. Identify the genre of each passage in so far as it has been determined.
• Description of each of the distinctive passages found uniquely in each gospel writer in this topic range. This includes genre, content, and literary setting.
• Summation of how each gospel writer presents this segment of Jesus' life (that is, the topic range under consideration; here topic 3.1). For example, with topic 3.1, how does each gospel writer set the stage for telling his story of Jesus? What is the distinctive picture of Jesus that comes from reading each gospel account in this topic range separately?
• Sources for answering the questions:
• Primary Source: Using your English translation(s) of the Bible, read and re-read the gospel texts, drawing observations directly from the scripture texts.
• Secondary Sources: Use these to supplement your reading of the scripture texts. The "Reading Guide to the..." section under each gospel discussion of Reddish's Introduction to the Gospels in iPreach is an especially helpful secondary source. Also, check the discussion of each gospel in Part I. A. 1. in Kümmel's Introduction to the New Testament in iPreach. And check the relevant sections in each gospel discussion in the various commentaries on iPreach. They typically contain an oveview synopsis of the various pericopes in an outline section of each gospel.
