Do not fill this in! ===The Gospel of John=== Despite being grouped with Matthew and Mark, the Gospel of Luke has a number of parallels with the [[Gospel of John]] which are not shared by the other [[Synoptic Gospels|synoptics]]: * Luke uses the terms "Jews" and "Israelites" in a way unlike Mark, but like John. * Both gospels have characters named [[Mary of Bethany]], [[Martha]], and Lazarus, although John's [[Lazarus of Bethany|Lazarus]] is portrayed as a real person, while Luke's is a figure in [[Rich man and Lazarus|a parable]]. * There are several points where Luke's [[passion narrative]] resembles that of John.<ref>[[William Robertson Nicoll|Nicoll, W.
