AnswerIt is known that the authors of Mathew's Gospel and Luke's Gospel relied on Mark's Gospel for their information about the life and mission of Jesus. Whenever they agree with Mark, the text is almost identical in the Greek language. Also, the "Missing Block" proves that the author of Luke knew nothing about Jesus apart from what he found in Mark. Both Matthew and Luke also relied on a hypothetical 'Q' document, also written in Greek, for many of the sayings and parables attributed to Jesus.

The link between John's Gospel and Mark is less direct. The author of this Gospel drew mainly from Luke's Gospel, often changing or reversing material form Luke, thus relying indirectly on Mark's Gospel. He also used some material directly from Mark, so both gospels must have been known to him.

What is the sixth gospel?

AnswerApart from the four gospels that were finally accepted into the New Testament canon, there have been many gospels about Jesus. The Gospel of Thomas is often considered to be the 'fifth' gospel because there was strong early support for its inclusion. There are several other gospels from the second century that could have been included and could therefore be called the 'sixth' gospel, had Ireneus not insisted that there must be exactly four gospels.


What is the genre called gospel?

A:There are at least two distinct gospel genres, but both are concerned with the life of Jesus. As we find in Paul's epistles, the term 'gospel' originally denoted apostolic preaching about Jesus, but later it came to refer to the literary works that we now know as gospels. Unfortunately most attempts to define a gospel genre end up excluding some gospels and therefore really only define a sub-genre of gospel. Probably the earliest gospels to be written were the Gospel of Thomas and the hypothetical 'Q' Gospel (or 'Q' Document). These belong to the genre known as Sayings Gospels, as they contain sayings only, with no narrative detail. There are other sayings gospels from the second century and beyond. They are 'gospels' because they are exclusively about Jesus.The four New Testament gospels were the first of another genre known as Narrative Gospels, because they contain both sayings and narrative about the life, mission and crucifixion of Jesus. There are other narrative gospels from the second century and beyond, the most important of which is arguably the Gospel of Peter. They are all 'gospels' because they are exclusively about Jesus.Perhaps the one definition of a gospel genre that is inclusive of all gospels is that a gospel is an early Christian book from which the story of Jesus was preached.

Why did the other disciples of Jesus not write their gospel accounts of what Jesus did in their presence?

The gospels that we know about included: Gospel of JamesThe Gospel of JohnGospel of JudasThe Gospel of LukeThe Gospel of MarkThe Gospel of MatthewThe Gospel of PeterThe Gospel of PhilipThe Gospel of ThomasIt is well established that none of the disciples actually wrote an eyewitness account, but many of the disciples were honoured with gospels in their names, including Matthew and John and several others.


Is Mark's Gospel the most frequently taught and studied portion of the New Testament?

Mark's Gospel is probably taught to no greater extent than the other gospels, but it is possibly studied more by scholars.Because Mark's Gospel is the earliest gospel in the New Testament, it can provide information about the beliefs of the very earliest Christians. A careful comparison of Mark to the other gospels can also provide clues about the development of those gospels, based on subtle changes their authors made when copying material from Mark.

What proportion of the New Testament is written by John Mark?

Apart from the epistles of Paul, we do not really know who wrote any of the books of the New Testament - even the four New Testament gospels were originally anonymous. However, Eusebius, writing in the fourth century, says that Papias attributed a gospel to John Mark, early in the second century. The gospel Papias is said to have attributed to John Mark is probably the book now known as Mark's Gospel, a small proportion of the New Testament but hugely important as the basis for each of the other synoptic gospels, and indirectly for John's Gospel.


Are there gospels other than Matthew Mark Luke and John?

Yes, there are other gospels that are not included in the Christian Bible, such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary, and the Gospel of Judas. These texts offer varying perspectives on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and were not included in the canonical gospels for various reasons.
