Benjamin is Jacob's twelfth son and Rachel's only other son. Joseph is the eleventh son of Jacob, but the oldest son of Jacob's favorite wife Rachel. The Synoptics give details of Jesus sharing the seder meal with his disciples before being arrested, while the Gospel of John has Jesus, as the lamb of God, being crucified at the same time as the Passover lambs are being prepared in the temple before the seder meal. The Synoptics tend to focus on the ministry in Galilee and country life challenges, while John focuses on Jerusalem and the Jewish leaders. John, on the other hand, may have been written without using another known source, or the writer may have had a different goal in mind. There is no scholarly consensus, but a popular conclusion is that Mark was written first and that Matthew and Luke used both Mark and another lost source to write their Gospels. However, 90% of the Gospel of John is only found in John. In fact, over 90% of the Gospel of Mark is also found in the Gospel of Matthew, the Gospel of Luke, or both. Matthew, Mark, and Luke come from a similar point of view with similar, or even word-for-word, stories at times.
(Mt 14:6-12, Mk 6:17-29, and Lk 7:18-25)īiblical scholars have long realized that the Gospel of John is very different from the other three Gospels. Though he was uncomfortable with the decision, Herod had no choice but to order the beheading of John the Baptist. After conversing with her vengeful mother, Salome requested the head of John the Baptist on a platter. However, after a delightful dance at a banquet by Salome, the daughter of Herodias, Herod publicly proclaimed his willingness to give the girl anything she wanted, up to and including half of the entire kingdom. Herod was afraid of him as he believed John was a prophet, so at first he only imprisoned John. This public shame made Herodias furious, and she had her new husband, Herod Antipas, arrest John the Baptist. Since John had the masses visiting him for baptism, they listened to his criticism of the behavior of Herod and Herodias.
It's rather complicated, but, more importantly, it was against the laws laid out in the book of Leviticus. John the Baptist was critical of Herod Antipas divorcing his wife and marrying his brother's divorced wife, Herodias.
