Gospels Quotes Old Testament Books King James Version (KJV) Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were considered unlearned and ignorant (Acts 4:13). They were never the less used by God (Holy Spirit) to preach, Quoting the Old Testament Scripture (Acts 1, 2, 3) and to write the Gospels to Document the ministry of Christ. Luke was used to document the transition from Jewish to Gentile ministries. Quoting O.T. scriptures, alluding to its teachings, also relying on many teachings of the Lord from the OT as they walked with Him over 3 years.

The best way to know what the Gospel is, is to see what the Bible has to say about the Gospel. Here is a list of what the New Testament writers and Jesus had to say about the Gospel.
Jesus, (as recorded by Matthew, Mark and Luke) talks about the Gospel. Matthew 3:2And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.) Charge to 12 disciples: Matthew 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. • Matthew 4:23And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. • Matthew 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. • Matthew 11:5The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. • Matthew 24:14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. •Matthew 26:13Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. • Mark 1:1The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; • Mark 1:14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, • Mark 1:15And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. • Mark 13:10And the gospel must first be published among all nations. Mark 14:9Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, … • Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. • Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, … • Luke 7:22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. • Luke 9:6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where. • Luke 20:1 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes ...
Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his nameJesus
Have you ever wondered why? This name probably rolls off more tongues than any other… has come from more pens than any other… has altered the world more than any other… more songs written and sung than any other… it is also more miss used than any other.
JESUS… His name was Divinely chosen
God Picked itPhilippians 2:9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: Who knows the Son better than the Father Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Angles announced itMatthew 1:20-21 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Holy Ghost explains itLuke 1:30-31And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
JESUS… was actually named by GOD
Joseph was told Matthew 1:21 Mary was told Luke 1:31 And they obeyed Luke 2:21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. They somehow knew the significance of this name… We also must know the importance of this name JESUS… His name has meaning (Greek = Saviour Hebrew = The Lord of Salvation) Jesus is Greek for the Hebrew Joshua Acts 7:45Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus (JOSHUA) into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David; Hebrews 4:8 For if Jesus (JOSHUA) had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. Joshua took the Hebrews where Moses could not Jesus does for us what Moses (LAW) cannot JESUS… This name identifies Him with His people (Read Matthew 1:18-25) Matthew 1:21And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for HE shall save HIS people from their sins. The following verses refer to HIS people, The Jews. John 1:11-12 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. John 17:11-12And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
When the Jews (as a Nation) rejected Christ Jesus as their Messiah, coming King (see King Jesus for the Jews). God, the Lord Jesus called the Jewish scourge (Saul) of all Jews who were becoming Christians (Acts 11:26) persecuting them even to putting them into jail and death. SAUL, a Pharisee, a leader within the Jewish Religion. After Saul’s conversion he tried to reach his fellow Jews with the gospel (1 Cor 15:1-4) but his ministry was limited and the religious leaders sought to kill him, so he turned to reaching out to the gentile world. (this was all God’s plan to open the plan of salvation to the Gentile world.)
Philippians 3:5-6 (Saul’s Jewish heritage) Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. Acts 9:15bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: Acts 13:46-47Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
Paul, the apostle to the gentiles (Romans 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office) only twice mentions the Lord Jesus Christ as KING. His message to Gentiles is that we are HEIRS, JOINT HEIRS with Christ.
1 Timothy 1:17Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 6:15Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
Romans 8:17And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Galatians 3:29And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. Titus 3:7That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Yes, Christ Jesus will rule and reign here on earth from Jerusalem during the millennium. He will be King of the Jews and we, believers in His death, burial and resurrection (and ascension into heaven and soon coming again) will reign with Him as JOINT HEIRS. AMEN!
A review of the verses below (put them back into context for further reading) show that not only did the 12 disciples of Jesus believe he was the Messiah, the coming King, so did his detractors, the Pharisees and Sadducees, and most Jews at large; which is why they sought to crucify him. It would upset their religious power. Pilate wondered at the idea as did other Roman leaders. During His three-year ministry He performed miracles to prove His deity and that He was the CHRIST, MESSIAH and their King promised to them in the Old Testament (see below) . And one day soon (after a seven year tribulation), He will return in power and take up His seat upon the Throne of David in Jerusalem to Rule. (Read the words of Peter Acts 2:22-37)
Matthew 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. John 1:49Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. John 6:15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the … John 12:13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. John 12:15Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting … Mark 15:2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto them, Thou sayest it John 18:33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? John 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. John 18:39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews? Mark 15:9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? Mark 15:12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? Luke 23:2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King. Luke 23:3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it. Matthew 27:11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. Mark 15:18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! John 19:3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. Luke 23:37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. Matthew 27:29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! John 19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! Matthew 27:37 And set up over his head his accusation written, This Is Jesus The King Of The Jews. Mark 15:26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, The King Of The Jews. Luke 23:38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, This Is The King Of The Jews. John 19:19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was Jesus Of Nazareth The King Of The Jews. John 19:21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. Matthew 27:42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. Mark 15:32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him. Luke 19:38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. Acts 2:22-36Ye men of Israel, hear these words; … (Be sure to read all of this) … Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Old Testament Promises: (just a few) Psalm 2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. Psalm 24:7,9Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Psalm 44:4Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob. Psalm 47:2,7 For the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth. Psalm 89:18 For the Lord is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king. Psalm 95:3For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. Isaiah 33:22 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.

Yes, the Lord Jesus came into this world to present himself to the Nation of Israel to be their King and to rule over them from Jerusalem. They rejected and crucified Him (Acts 2:23). God then called Saul, who became Paul, to take the message of salvation to the Gentile world (Romans 11:11). This is was a mystery and will one day end (Romans 11:25) and the Lord Jesus, King of Kings will turn to set up His kingdom to rule and rein over the Jews and the entire world.
Romans 11:11I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. Romans 11:25For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulnessof the Gentiles be come in.
The Apostle Paul wrote to
Timothy that Jesus Christ was King and Lord.
1 Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 6:15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
And John, the writer of
Revelation, pens the following about the Lord Jesus Christ, the KING:
Revelation 15:3And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Revelation 17:14These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. Revelation 19:16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
Yes, Scoffers are among us even to this day as Peter warned (2 Peter 3:3-10). But next the Rapture, then the Tribulation, then the second coming and beginning of the 1000 years (millennium) reign on earth of the Lord Jesus, followed by the Great White Throne Judgement and then Eternity.
2 Peter 3:3-4Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
Rapture –I Thessalonians 4:13-18, I Corinthians 15:51-57 Tribulation – Matthew 24:21-29 2nd Coming – Matthew 24:30, Acts 1:11, Revelation 1:7, Revelation 19:11-16 1000 years/Millennium Reign –Revelation 20:3-4 Great White Throne – Revelation 20:11-15 Eternity – Revelation 21-22
