Mathew, Mark, Luke and John are all accounts of the same story. This is the story of Jesus. In religion this week we are talking about Luke's account of Jesus's and John's births. I especially like Luke's point of view, because he goes into more detail then the other doctrines.
In Luke, he gives a comparison of John the Baptist and Jesus. Both Elizabeth, John's mother, and Mary, Jesus's mother, are very faithful women. They both except their roles when the angel Gabriel tells them they are to bear these great men. Both in essence are born to save souls. John is born to baptize children of God who wish to repent and Jesus is here to save them.
Luke talks about both of these men's humble beginnings, their trials and their temptations.
