And they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers and kettles.)

Discussion
1. What does it mean to your faith
in Jesus and in the Bible to have
four gospels, four accounts of his
life?
Discussion
2. How would you respond to a
critic who said: (a) “we don’t
need 4 gospels because they are
all the same” or (b) “we can’t
trust the gospels because they
are different”?
