170. What woman interceded for her daughter? "A woman of Canaan... cried
unto him" (Matt. xv. 22). The woman was a Greek (Mark vii. 26).
171. How great was the multitude which Jesus fed with seven loaves and
a few fishes? Matthew says four thousand, besides women and children
(xv. 38). Mark says four thousand in all (viii. 9).
172. How long was it after Christ was transfigured that he took James
and John up into the mountain? Six days after (Matt. xvii. 4). Eight
days after (Luke ix. 28).
173. How much power did Jesus say faith as big as a grain of
mustard-seed can impart? Matthew (xvii. 20) says enough to remove
mountains. Luke says (xvii. 6) enough to pluck up trees by the roots.
Both large jobs for one man.
174. Who asked seats in the kingdom for Zebedee's children? Matthew
says (xx. 20) it was their mother. Mark says (x. 35) they asked it
themselves. Why did he refuse them two seats when he had promised them,
with the other ten disciples, twelve thrones? (Matt. xix. 28.)
175. How many blind men did Jesus restore near Jericho? Matthew says
(xx. 30) two blind men. Mark and Luke say only one, Bartimeus.
176. Where did he perform this miracle? Matthew says as he was going
away from Jericho. Luke says as he was coming into the city (xviii. 35).
177. When did Christ drive out the money-changers? Matthew and Luke say
the day he rode into the city. Mark says not till the next day (xi. 11).
178. What did Jesus tell his disciples about the ass? Matthew says (xxi.
2) he told them they would find an ass and colt tied. Mark and Luke say
they found tied only a colt. And John says it was a young ass, and Jesus
found it himself (xii. 14). Mark and Luke say he rode the colt. But
Matthew (xxi. 7) represents him as riding both the ass and the colt.
179. Who answered Christ's question in the parable of the vineyard?
Matthew says (xxi. 41) his disciples answered the question. Mark and
Luke both say he answered it himself.
180. When did Christ tell the truth about Lazarus? He first said his
sickness was not unto death, but afterwards said he was dead.
181. When did the anointment of Christ take place? Matthew says (xxvi.
2) it was two days before the passover. But John says it was six days
after (John xii. 1). And Luke makes it much later (viii. 36 and xxii.
1).
182. Where did the anointment take place? Matthew says (xxvi. 6) in
the house of Simon the leper. Luke says (vii. 36) in the house of a
Pharisee. But, according to John, it was in the house of Lazarus (xii.
1).
183. Where was the ointment poured? Matthew and Mark say on his head.
But Luke and John say on his feet.
184. When did Christ say one of his disciples would betray him? Matthew
says (xxvi. 21) while they "did eat supper." But, according to Luke
(xxii. 20), it was after supper was over.
185. Where did Jesus go after supper? John savs "over the brook Cedron"
(xviii. 1.). But the other three evangelists say to the Mount of Olives.
