How long after Jesus' death were the Gospels of Matthew Mark Luke and John written?

Most biblical scholars accept that the Gospel According to St Mark was the first written of the four canonical Gospels. Mark's Gospel was written in Greek, and there is ample evidence that Matthew's Gospel and Luke's Gospel were based on Mark's Gospel. St John's Gospel appears to have been based on Luke's Gospel, but the author clearly also knew Mark's Gospel and copied some material from it. Ian Wilson (Jesus: The Evidence) says that it can come as a shock to discover that no-one can even be sure who wrote the gospels. Nevertheless much scholarly study has gone into establishing approximately when they were written.Mark's Gospel was written in the late 60s or very early in the 70s CE, thus around 40 years after the most commonly accepted dates for the death of Jesus.Matthew's Gospel was written after Mark's, but before Luke's Gospel. It is generally considered to have been written in the 80s CE. This means that it was probably written more than 50 years after the death of Jesus.Luke's Gospel is generally considered to have been written in the 90s CE, but could well be from early in the second century. It comes some 70 years after the death of Jesus, and long after all his contemporaries were dead.John's Gospel is generally considered to have been written a little after Luke, and a date early in the second century is probable. Once again, this Gospel is dated more than 70 years after the generally accepted date of the crucifixion.


What year was each of the four Gospels written?

We can not say exactly which year each of the New Testament gospels was written, but we can come close. Scholars say that Mark's Gospel was written approxmately 70 CE. Matthew's Gospel is believed to have been written during the 80s CE, although Raymond E Brown (''An Introduction to the New Testament'') cautions to allow a few years either side of that decade. Luke's gospel was written in the 90s of the first century, or early in the second century. John's Gospel was written early in the second century.


Was Matthew's Gospel written in chronological order?

Matthew's Gospel contains around 600 of the 666 verses from Mark's Gospel and was written in the same order as Mark. In this respect, the Gospel of Matthew agrees with Luke. Some sayings material was inserted into Matthew at various points, from the hypothetical 'Q' document, but not necessarily at the same points as Luke, when it uses the same material form Q.As far as the author of Matthew could establish, the Gospel was written in chronological order.AnswerNo. Luke's is the only Gospel meant to present a historical work "in order" (Luke 1:3). Most of his stories fall in chronological sequence.
