The Gospel is about Jesus

The collection of writings that comprise the New Testament begins with four biographical, historical accounts that center on the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. These four books - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, are referred to as The Gospels (lit. “good news”). The Gospel according to Matthew is the good news of Jesus from Matthew’s perspective, in Matthew’s words, to Matthew’s audience. This is true of each writer. They each told the good news of Jesus from their own perspective, in their own words, and to their own audience.
