PALM SUNDAY - GOSPEL OF ST MATTHEW 21: 1- 11

COMPARING ST MATTHEW - ST MARK - ST LUKE - ST JOHN

All four Gospels have the Palm Sunday Gospel basically the same.
Thus it is an historical Faith event.
And yet some variances:

St.Matthew : Palm Sunday                                              St.Mark: Palm Sunday
                     Cleansing the Temple                                           Jesus returns to Bethany
                     Cures in the Temple                                                   Parable of Fig Tree
                     Pharisees order His followers to stop           Returns to Cleanse the Temple
                     Jesus goes to Bethany                                                Other Parables 
                     Parable of Fig Tree
                     Other Parables
   ** Only St Matthew has explicit mention of the Prophets   ** Only St Mark and St Luke
         as St Matthew was a Jew writing for Jews                           have full dialouge of donkey's owner
   ** Only St Matthew has a colt and a donkey                             


St Luke: Palm Sunday                                                  St John: Palm Sunday
               Pharisees order His followers to stop                    Misunderstanding of disciples
               Jesus weeps over Jerusalem                                         Pharisees turn on Jesus
               Returns to Cleanse the Temple
               Other Parables
 ** Only St Luke and St Mark
      have full dialouge of donkey's owner
