My hypothesis is that most ardent evangelicals are more likely to have in their immediate cache of evangelical weaponry bits of Leviticus denouncing homosexuality, stories from Genesis refuting evolution and supporting an actual worldwide flood, and cartoonish depictions of the end of the world from Revelation than they are likely to have understood, ...[text shortened]... y, arguably the most valuable portion of Bible, to be able to recount and discuss them on call.

It was Herod that Jesus said nothing to.

It was Herod that Jesus said nothing to.
In John, he talks to Pilate a lot.
Another example of contradictions in the Bible.

those things not being talked about by others. Different accounts,
written to different people, for different reasons, by different people
do not always cover all the same things the same way.

More likely they are writing to different audiences and tailoring their message to that audience. None of them were witnesses to the actual events and at least two - Luke and John - and possibly all never meet Jesus.

How accurate do you suppose my hypothesis is?
I take no pleasure in saying that, but I must be honest. You wouldn't want me to lie to you would you?

Well, here is your chance to provide me with better information.
Give me the Sermon on the Mount in your own words, from memory.
The instructions specifically designed for the believer today are contained in Paul's epistles. Romans through Philemon.

The instructions specifically designed for the believer as given by Jesus Himself are
in St Matthew 25:31-46. Faith without works is dead, and Jesus delineated the works Himself.
