Which gospel is most hostile to Judaism?

A:New Testament scholars have noted that early Christian literature became increasingly hostile to the Jews as time progressed. Mark's Gospel, written around 70 CE, condemned the scribes and Pharisees but was conciliatory towards the ordinary Jews. Matthew's Gospel came next, written during the 80s of the first century when history shows Judaism and Christianity to be increasingly hostile to each other, and is somewhat hostile to the Jews. Luke was written around the end of the first century, after Christians had been banned from attending synagogues, and shows clear hostility towards the Jews in its account of the life of Jesus. Johnwas written some time after Luke and is quite hostile towards Judaism.
