Bible Question: Oh I noticed that in Matthew it says to tell the people that the Lord has need of "them" whereas the Luke and Mark say the Lord has need of "it". Do you think that is just a matter of the perspective of the writer recounting what he heard or saw? |
Bible Answer: Personally, I think the writers are accounting what their focus was. Mark and Luke refer to the specific animal upon which Jesus sat. Matthew, the former tax-gatherer, gives the full number of beasts. My opinion, anyway. . . Love in Christ, Mark |
