Creative!

IIUC, Matthew was written to the Jewish mindset. Mark was aimed at the Romans and Luke, the Greeks. (I don't recall if John was directed at a particular audience.)

I don't know how to interpret them. While it's fine that you are an aficionado --I certainly am of other things-- I think (like mine) it will become "strangely dim" as we get closer to 1 John 3:2.
