Jesus in the Gospels We can learn from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John how Jesus worshiped the Father. The word gospel means “good news.” The Gospels are the written Good News that Jesus saved us from sin and death. Some examples of how Jesus worshiped are told in the Gospel of Mark. Read Mark 1:35–39 below. Jesus Leaves Capernaum Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed. 36Simon and those who were with him pursued him 37 and on finding him said, “Everyone is looking for you.” 38He told them, “Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come.” 39So he went into their synagogues, preaching and driving out demons throughout the whole of Galilee. 35
