Matthew 8:14-15
Three gospels record three accounts of the Healing of Peter's Mother-in-Law. How are they the same or different? What do the differences reveal about the theology or teaching of that author? How would you find this out on your own? I am going to use the Synopsis of the Gospels to answer these questions and show you how to use this tool for studying the Bible.
