This chapter gives us a glimpse into the ministry of John the Baptist and a moment when he and Jesus crossed paths – at the baptism of Christ. We then get a second version of Jesus’ genealogy.
Luke tells about the birth of Christ including details that probably came from Mary. This chapter shows Jesus at the temple shortly after his birth and later, when he was twelve.
Luke approached the writing of his Gospel like a historian, doing research and seeking out sources. He begins his story with two supernatural births, first of John the Baptist and then of Jesus Christ.
Mark begins his Gospel with the ministry of John the Baptist. After Jesus is baptized by John he moves into his public ministry.
