Newly Discovered Gospel Parallels Jaroslav Kukuca

This study contains newly discovered parallels: 1. The first chapters of the Gospel of Luke, describing the childhood of the Lord Jesus, are formally very similar to the description of events from the beginning of Jesus' public activities. 2. The two descriptions of the miraculous Feeding the multitude are very similar... In addition to these two events, the parallel is also found in the expulsion of the demons into the swine in approximately the same place (on the other bank of Sea of Galilee), where Feeding the multitude occurred. Just like the Lord Jesus fed the multitude, he also "multiplied" to a certain extent the food of evil spirits when he sent them from one sick person to many of the swine... 3. Herod's "profession" and the profession of Peter about the Lord Jesus are formally similar, as well as other parts of the pericopes. 4. The prayer of the High priest in John is formally very similar to the Lord's Prayer given by Matthew. Lord's Prayer is thus probably a brief extract from the High priest prayer of Lord Jesus. These parallels are probably the most important of those I was able to identify. Together with the other parallels, I have identified (such as the healing of the innocent in the pool of Siloam by John and the collapse of the tower of Siloam and death of innocent by Luke), and with those we known so far, I provide them in this study.
