Why is Mark's Gospel account better than Matthew's?

Answer 1

A:Scholars tell us that Matthew's Gospel was actually copied in large part from Mark's Gospel. Whenever the two gospels agree, they use almost exactly the same words in the Greek language, something that could not happen if the two authors were simply relying on a common oral tradition or even Aramaic source. Being the original gospel, Mark ought to be more historically accurate than Matthew or any other gospel.
