Luke and John are the only books in The Bible that mention sisters called Mary and Martha, and also the only gospels that mention Lazarus:

  • Luke contains a brief story of Jesus visiting the sisters, while Lazarus is in a parable that mentions his resurrection hypothetically (Luke 16:20-31).
  • John wrote an important episode, in which Jesus visited the sisters, Mary and Martha, and resurrected their dead brother, Lazarus (John 11:43-44).

The involvement in both gospels of sisters called Mary and Martha is an improbable coincidence. The additional coincidences of name, death and hypothetical or actual resurrection of Lazarus is strong evidence that the two stories were taken by John from Luke's Gospel and the parable about the hypothetical resurrection of Lazarus changed to the story of his miraculous resurrection.

No, because the Bible is a collection of books inspired by God; the word bible is from the Greek word biblos, which means books. None of the books mention how many God planned to have written.


Why were books taken from the bible?

The Bible is a compilation of books. Each religion determines what books they want included in theirs. I know of at least 50 or more books that belong in the Bible but are not included because they make mention of Jesus' brothers and the fact that he was married.

Which book in the bible don't mention the name of Jesus Christ for once?

there aren't any books in the Bible that don't mention the name of Jesus Christ, and this is coming from a Christian.AnswerI'm not sure which Bible the previous answerer reads but no books in the Old Testament mention Jesus at all as he wasn't even born then. Some prophesy his coming but none mentions him by name. As an example of a book in the New Testament, the third letter of John does not mention Jesus.
