Which Gospel is believed to be the last Gospel?
The Gospel of John is the last of the New Testament gospels. Some believe it was written early in the second century, nearly a century after the year Jesus is believed to have died. Other gospels, not included in the New Testament, continued to be written for centuries. Some others date the writing of the Gospel before 70AD or up to the end of 95AD. The latter date is the most widely accepted date. The Gospel of John is the last gospel.Another Answer:It is almost universally accepted that John's Gospel was the last New Testament gospel to be written. It can readily be established that John was written later than Luke, because it is actually based loosely on Luke. Luke's Gospel, in turn, was originally based on Mark. And biblical scholars are satisfied that Luke was later than Matthew.
How many times did the Magi came to visit Christ?
There is no indication that they came more than the once mentioned in St Luke's Gospel.
When was the third gospel written?
A:All the New Testament gospels were written anonymously and were only attributed to the apostles whose names they now bear later in the second century. The third gospel was attributed to Luke and so is now known as Luke's Gospel, or the Gospel of Luke. New Testament scholars have demonstrated that Luke was based substantially on Mark's Gospel, which was written approximately 70 CE, so of course Luke was written some time after Mark had been published and circulated. Lukemay also contain passages based on Antiquities of the Jews, published in 93 CE by the Jewish historian Josephus. Internal evidence also suggests this Gospel was written rather later than Matthew, which is dated to the 80s of the first century. The consensus of New Testament scholars is that the third gospel, Luke, was written in the 90s of the first century, or perhaps very early in the second century.
Which gospel has the best overview of the gospel of Jesus Christ?
A:John's Gospel is probably the most spiritual gospel. Luke's Gospel attempts to put the life of Jesus in a historical perspective and is also more concerned with the central message of helping the poor. More than any of the others, Matthew's Gospel seeks to demonstrate that the Old Testament was fulfilled in Jesus. Mark's Gospel is not only the shortest New Testament gospel, it is als the original gospel on which the others were either directly (Matthew, Luke) or indirectly (John) based. Whether or not it offers the best overview, Mark ought to be the gospel that is closest to the real Jesus of Nazareth.
Which gospel includes stories directly from Mary?
A:Luke's Gospel contains an account of the angel talling Mary that she would bear a child. It also talks of Mary visiting her cousin Elizabeth and sing the Magnificat, a hymn of praise actually based on passages from the Old Testament. Compare this to Mathew's Gospel, where Joseph is the recipient of the angel's message, rather than Mary.It should be borne in mind that Luke was written over a century after the birth of Jesus, so its anonymous author had no way of knowing the private thoughts and experiences of Zecharias, Elizabeth and Mary, as described in Luke chapter 1. New Testament scholars regard these accounts as literary creations, rather than testimony direct from Mary.
In what community did Luke write his gospel?
We know little about the community in which Luke his Gospel, but we can infer some things. The Gospel was written in Greek Koine, long after 70 CE and very possibly in the first decade of the second century. It was therefore, no doubt, intended for a community somewhere in the Middle East around the end of the first century.There is no reason to believe that Luke's Gospel was written by Luke, the companion of Paul, an attribution that was only made later in the second century. It is possible to establish that this Luke knew nothing about the gospel Jesus, other than what he found in an incomplete copy of Marks' Gospel. Whenever Luke agrees with Mark, the text is almost identical in Greek, something that could not happen unless one Gospel was being copied. We also have the "Missing Block", a section of text that was obviously missing from the copy of Mark that Luke was using. That he was trying to follow Mark faithfully and did not know that there were missing sheets in his copy, is demonstrated by the fact that he unintelligibly merged the verses from Mark, before and after the Missing Block. Given the importance of material in the "Missing Block", particularly the miracle of walking on water, we could expect that Luke would have added this material from his other sources, if any such sources were known to him. If Luke knew nothing of the gospel story, we can infer that Luke's community knew nothing about the gospel Jesus before Luke began to preach from his Gospel, although they might have received the 'Q' document, which contained sayings attributed to Jesus.So we can build a picture of a Greek-speaking, gentile community in the Middle East, with no knowledge of the gospel stories, but which could have read and followed the sayings of Jesus from the 'Q' document, and wondered about the great man behind those sayings.
