All the times Jesus is called "The Lord" in the gospels

Just for interest
Count of "The Lord" to mean Jesus, with number in brackets to mean God. Add them together for total count of "The Lord" appearing in text
Matthew - 0 (19)
Mark - 2 (9) - (Both in long ending only)
Luke - 16 (36)
John - 9 (3)
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’
Note - I don't count this as a 'Jesus' as it's ambiguous, God gets the count here
The count be refined to include 'Lord' on its own, not 'the Lord' for completeness
I used NIV but it probably doesn't matter in this case
Thoughts?
Matthew - no surprise? Jewish orientated, reticence to name Jesus as Lord?
Luke - no surprise if connected to Acts/Paul? (But did proto-Luke have this?)
Mark - basically it's 0, same reasons as Matthew?
John - The opposite of Matthew/Mark. The Lord is only ever Jesus except in scripture quotes
