Biblical scholars say that there is not good reason to believe that Luke the apostle was the actual author of Luke's Gospel, so we do not know who the author really was. However, the evidence shows that it was written at the end of the first century or early in the second century, too late for theauthor to have been alive in the time of Jesus.

What early writer recorded that John wrote the Gospel of John when John was in Ephesus?
A:Irenaeus was probably the earliest writer to state that the apostle John visited Ephesus, late in the second century. It is probably too strong a word to say that he 'recorded' this, since we now know that John did not actually write the gospel that bears his name, and he is unlikely to have ever gone to the region of Ephesus.
Who started the first Church ever?
Jesus Christ "created" the Church, then His Apostles and disciples spread the Gospel and they were consider as First Church. Read Acts to learn more.
What was the message of Saint Mark's Gospel?
Maurice Goguel (Jesus the Nazarene: Myth or History?, 1926) remarked that the Gospel According to St Mark is composed of an introduction and of four portions, of which the first may be subdivided into eight sections. It has a 3-part plan: psychological, since it rests upon the idea of the development of the Jewish opposition and the disciples' lack of intelligence; logical and chronological, since it shows in the events the reaction after the welcome given to Jesus; geographical, since it divides the history of Jesus into three periods: Galilean, itinerant, and then Jerusalem. However, in spite of his Gospel being called a well-planned book, Mark seems a poor writer, often writing ungrammatically and hardly knowing how to write a narrative.Mark frequently stressed that Jesus instructed witnesses to his miracles to keep his true identity a secret. Dennis R MacDonald (The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark) argues persuasively that this was the result of Homeric influence, with Jesus a counterpart to Odysseus, who also had to keep his identity secret. A possible further reason could be that Mark, which was the first gospel to be written, needed to show why few people had ever heard of Jesus, who supposedly performed so many great wonders and miracles in the recent past.Mark's Gospel has also been called a story of the death of Jesus with a long introduction. Far more than the later gospels (Matthew, Luke and John), Mark's Gospel is about the period leading up to and just after the death of Jesus.AnswerDeath , burial and resurection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Mark highlights the power of Jesus as the Son of God, and the Messiah.
Did Mark the Gospel writer ever meet Jesus?
The Gospel of Mark was originally written anonymously and only attributed by the Church Fathers to the apostle whose name it now bears later in the second century. There is no good reason to believe that the author was the apostle Mark, but if this was the author, the pseudepigraphical epistle, 1 Peter, says that Mark was the son of Peter.First, it is most unlikely that the author of Mark's Gospel was called Mark, and biblical scholars believe that the author seems not to have been close to anyone who was an eyewitness to the events that his gospel portrays. Second, if the Church Fathers were correct in attributing the epistle to Mark, he may have known Paul, but would not have met Jesus. 1 Peter was not written by the apostle Peter and therefore can not be relied on as evidence that Mark was even related to Peter.

How were the writers of the gospels linked to Jesus?
Matthew was a former tax collector who was a disciple of Jesus.Mark was the son of Mary of Jerusalem (not Mary the mother of Jesus). He came to know Peter the disciple as his major source of information about Jesus. It is uncertain if he ever met Jesus in person, although he probably knew about him.Luke was a gentile physician and a traveling companion of Paul. He talked with Mary as the source for his infancy narratives. He also used other sources for his Gospel but it is unlikely he ever met Jesus personally.John was Jesus closest personal acquaintance and the 'beloved disciple'.

What is a sayings gospel?
A:The four New Testament gospels are examples of narrative gospels, as they tell a narrative, or story, about the life and mission of Jesus. A sayings gospel is one that contains little or no narrative, but describes sayings attributed to Jesus. It is typical of sayings gospels that there is no reference to the crucifixion of Jesus. Some scholars believe there were two very early strands of Christian faith. One was based on sayings and teachings attributed to Jesus, but with no tradition of the crucifixion and mission of Christ. The other strand being based around a a dying and resurrected Christ, without a sayings tradition.Two sayings gospels, the Gospel of Thomas and the hypothetical 'Q' Gospel, are believed to have been among the very earliest gospels ever written.
