Jesus Portrayal Comparison?
I'm doing an essay that has me comparing the portrayal of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark to any other representation I choose. So I decided to do the Gospel of Luke, and after getting about half the essay done I'm stuck. I've already talked about how the personalities are different and how Jesus himself acts, but I'm not quite sure what else I can talk about. Suggestions would be very helpful

The Marcan emphasis on secrecy around Jesus's mission is missing in Luke.
In Luke, Jesus's ministry crosses more cultural boundaries than it does in the Gospel of Mark (e.g., the Syro-Phoenician woman, the Roman centurion, the parables of the Good Samaritan, the woman searching for the lost coins, etc.).
There are significant differences in the Passion narratives.
There are, of course, differences in the post-Resurrection appearances.
