People can do this at home. You can do this one at home. So just take the garden of Gethsemane scene where in Mark's Gospel Jesus says that he is deeply anguished unto death and when he's praying in the garden before he's arrested and Luke doesn't have that. And Mark says that Jesus was deeply sorrowful and Luke doesn't have that. And in Mark he goes off and he falls on his face to pray and a Luke calmly takes a knee and in Mark he prays three times that God will take this cup away from him and the Luke only prays once and he proceeds if I say if you will. And so it's like this all this deep agony in Mark it's all taken out in Luke. Well that's interesting. When you get to the crucifixion scene it's it's even more interesting in because I mean it looks like Luke is portraying Jesus as calm and in control rather than agonized.
