Do the Gospels of Mark and John have detailed birth narratives?
Wiki User

Writing some years before Matthew and Luke were written, theauthor of Mark simply knew nothing about the nativity traditions. John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) says that in his view, neither birth story, in Matthew and Luke, contains any historical truth. In the case of John's Gospel, which was loosely based on Luke's Gospel, it appears that the author omitted Luke's birth story simply because he did not accept it to be factual.

No, the Gospels of Mark and John do not have detailed birth narratives like Matthew and Luke. Mark begins with Jesus' baptism and John starts with a theological prologue about the Word becoming flesh.
