In a Sunday School lesson, my teacher mentioned the passages about the rich young ruler. I came to the realization (it could be a translation thing) that only Luke calls him a ruler - Matthew and Mark just call him a person, like maybe they didn't know he was a ruler. So in my mind, Luke is aware of local politics but the others are not.
Luke 18:18: "And a ruler asked him, 'Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?'"Matthew 19:16: "And behold, a man came up to him, saying, 'Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?'"
