- Jesus’ ministry focused on a series of key objectives that we can see repeated throughout the Gospels. Preaching, teaching, healing and expelling spirits defined Jesus’ public life and were often mentioned in “summary statements” that condensed his activity in brief accounts. These summaries were shared by the three Synoptic Gospels. Read the synoptic summaries provided below and list the aspects of Jesus’ ministry described in each.
