New Testament Assignment

I chose to put my student choice activity for my New Testament class in my blog. It's an outline detailing different people mentioned in the gospels of the New Testament and how they knew about Christ, what they knew, and what they did with their knowledge. I included scripture references to look up (except the last one). If anything is wrong or vague, then sorry!!
