# Main Thing Study ## TL;DR - The results of the observations are summarized in the table below. | Book | Faith | Fear | Hope | Kingdom | Love | Money | Rewards | Truth | Prophet | | ----------- | ----- | ---- | ---- | ------- | ---- | ----- | ------- | ----- | ------- | | **Matthew** | | | | | 13 | | | 2 | | | **Mark** | | | | | 5 | | | 4 | | | **Luke** | | | | | 15 | | | 3 | | | **John** | | | | | 55 | | | 38 | | | **TOTAL** | | | | | 88 | | | 47 | | ## Background - Over 10 years ago (2014.02.07 & 13), I compared the occurrences of three words in the four gospels to get an idea on what the Bible said was the main point. At that time, I used the NET Study Environment which is not as robust as the one provided by https://biblehub.com. The results of that study are recorded in [[Gospel_n_Kingdom_140207|The Gospel & the Kingdom]]. The summary table is shown below: | Book | Fear | Kingdom | Love | | ----------- | ---- | ------- | ---- | | **Matthew** | 19 | 67 | 22 | | **Mark** | 14 | 27 | 9 | | **Luke** | 30 | 56 | 20 | | **John** | 9 | 3 | 46 | | **TOTAL** | 72 | 153 | 97 | ## Questions - What is the main point presented in the four gospels? - What are the occurrence counts for the following words in the four gospels: - faith - G4102 - fear / afraid - hope - G1680 - king / kingdom - G0932 - G0935 - love - G0025 - G0026 - G5368 - money - Rewards - G3408 - Look at words like "blessed" and promises that are directly connected to actions / heart - truth / true - G0225 - G0227 - prophet / prophecy / prophesy - G4394 - G4395 - G4396 --- ## Observations ### Faith - G4102 - Matthew = - Mark = - Luke = - John = ### Fear / afraid ### Hope - G1680 - Matthew = - Mark = - Luke = - John = ### King / kingdom - G0932 - Matthew = - Mark = - Luke = - John = - G0935 - Matthew = - Mark = - Luke = - John = ### Love - G0025 - Matthew = 8 - 5.43 - 5.44 - 5.46 - 5.46 - 6.24 - 19.19 - 22.37 - 22.39 - Mark = 5 - 10.21 - 12.30 - 12.31 - 12.33 - 12.33 - Luke = 13 - 6.27 - 6.32 - 6.32 - 6.32 - 6.32 - 6.35 - 7.5 - 7.42 - 7.47 - 7.47 - 10.27 - 11.43 - 16.13 - John = 37 - John 3.16 - John 3.19 - John 3.35 - John 8.42 - John 10.17 - John 11.5 - John 12.43 - John 13.1 - John 13.1 - John 13.23 - John 13.34 - John 13.34 - John 13.34 - John 14.15 - John 14.21 - John 14.21 - John 14.21 - John 14.21 - John 14.23 - John 14.23 - John 14.24 - John 14.28 - John 14.31 - John 15.9 - John 15.9 - John 15.12 - John 15.12 - John 15.17 - John 15.23 - John 15.23 - John 15.24 - John 15.26 - John 15.26 - John 19.26 - John 21.7 - John 21.15 - John 21.16 - John 21.20 - G0026 - Matthew = 1 - 24.12 - Mark = 0 - Luke = 1 - 11.42 - John = 6 - John 5.42 - John 13.35 - John 15.9 - John 15.10 - John 15.10 - John 17.26 - G5368 - Matthew = 4 - 6.5 - 10.37 - 10.37 - 23.6 - Mark = 0 - Luke = 1 - 20.46 - John = 12 - John 5.20 - John 11.3 - John 11.36 - John 12.25 - John 15.19 - John 16.27 - John 20.2 - John 21.15 - John 21.16 - John 21.17 - John 21.17 - John 21.17 ### Money ### Rewards - G3408 - Matthew = - Mark = - Luke = - John = ### Truth / true - G0225 - Matthew = 1 - 22.16 - Mark = 3 - 5.33 - 12.14 - 12.32 - Luke = 3 - 4.25 - 20.21 - 22.59 - John = 25 - 1.14 - 1.17 - 3.21 - 4.23 - 4.24 - 5.33 - 8.32 - 8.32 - 8.40 - 8.44 - 8.44 - 8.45 - 8.46 - 14.6 - 14.17 - 15.26 - 16.7 - 16.13 - 16.13 - 17.17 - 17.17 - 17.19 - 18.37 - 18.37 - 18.38 - G0227 - Matthew = 1 - 22.16 - Mark = 1 - 12.14 - Luke = 0 - John = 13 - 3.33 - 4.18 - 5.31 - 5.32 - 6.55 - 7.18 - 8.13 - 8.14 - 8.17 - 8.26 - 10.41 - 19.35 - 21.24 ### Prophet / prophecy / prophesy - G4394 - Matthew = - Mark = - Luke = - John = - G4395 - Matthew = - Mark = - Luke = - John = - G4396 - Matthew = - Mark = - Luke = - John = --- ## Other Notes - --- #### Outbound Links - Studies - Other Notes - [[Gospel_n_Kingdom_140207|The Gospel & the Kingdom]] - Topics ---
