Because the Gospel of John was inspired largely by the Gospel of Luke, whenever John parallels the synoptic gospels it is usually most similar to Luke, except for a small number of passages that came direct from Mark's Gospel. John's Gospel has altered, elaborated and even reversed much of the original, while being careful not to too clearly contradict Luke.
Luke and John are the only gospels that mentions Mary and Martha or Lazarus. Luke's Gospel tells of a parable in which Lazarus is resurrected. In John's Gospel, Lazarus, now the brother of Mary and Martha, really is resurrected by Jesus. The similarities could not have come by chance, while the differences are so great that they could not have been the same story, from a common source.
Luke's Gospel is the only synoptic account that has Peter run to the tomb and, stooping down, look in and see the linen clothes laid by themselves. A feature of John's Gospel is that it often compares Peter unfavourably with the"disciple whom Jesus loved", and that is the case here, when John has the disciple accompanying Peter, outrunning Peter and seeing the clothes before Peter arrived. Nevertheless, John was careful to agree with Lukein that Peter did go straight to the tomb and see the clothes.
The author of John seems to have wanted to place Thomas in an inferior position compared to the other apostles. Luke's Gospel developed the theme of the risen Jesus meeting the apostles at a meal in a room in Jerusalem. John's Gospel maintains that theme, but splits it into two meetings, with Thomas absent from the first and therefore not receiving the Holy Spirit. The final appearance of Jesus, in which he tells the fishermen to cast their nets on the other side, parallels a pre-crucifixion event in Luke's Gospel.

Which one of the four New Testament Gospels according to Matthew Mark Luke and John is considered by biblical scholars to be the first one written?
Biblical scholars say that the first gospel to be written was the Gospel of Mark. The clear evidence of this is that the authors of both Matthew and Luke copied much of Mark's Gospel verbatim in the Greek language. They say that analysis shows that Mark is not copied from either Matthew or Luke, and that the author of Luke was not aware of Matthew's Gospel. Thus, Mark must have been written before Matthew and Luke. John's Gospel is believed to have been inspired by Luke's Gospel, with some material taken direct from Mark.

What are the Holy Bible views on prosperity?
AnswerIn the Old Testament, prosperity among the Hebrews was believed to show favour of God. In the New Testament, the gospels say that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven. The Gospel of Luke and Acts of the Apostles show high regard for the poor. On the other hand, the Gospel of John shows many of Jesus' friends as wealthy and powerful, and Jesus performed many of his best miracles for his rich friends.

Which gospel was written for the gentiles?
John's Gospel was written for what is now called the Johannine community. Luke's gospel also seems to have been written for a limited community, although it may also have been intended to demonstrate to outsiders, such as the Roman authorities, the antiquity and virtues of Christianity. Some believe that Matthew's Gospel was written for a Jewish community, and if so this would have been a diaspora community. Mark's Gospel shows no indication of having been intended for a limited community, and in fact this gospel was known to the authors of all the other New Testament gospels - Matthew, Luke and John. So, Mark was the most universal of the gospels.

Which gospel comes last in the New Testament?
A:John's Gospel was loosely based on Luke's Gospel, which was in turn based on Mark's Gospel, while there are good grounds for believing that Matthew, also based on Mark, was written some time before Luke. Thus, John was the last New Testament gospel to be written, and is dated to the early decades of the second century.
Who wrote John's Gospel and what was his background?
A:The New Testament gospels were all anonymous until later in the second century, when the Church Fathers sought to attribute them to the apostles they thought most likely to have been the authors. Because the fourth gospel seemed to the Church Fathers to have been written by an eyewitness and because it is the only gospel that refers to the 'disciple whom Jesus loved', whom they thought must have been the apostle John, they attributed this gospel to John, son of Zebedee. However, New Testament scholars say that the gospel could not have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed. In fact, scholars have established that John's Gospel was actually inspired by Luke's Gospel, which certainly rules out authorship by any disciple of Jesus. Therefore we do not know wh the author was.From the text, and in the context of the First Epistle of John, we can establish that the author (or authors) of John was a member of a closed Christian community that split acrimoniously shortly after the gospel was completed. The community seems to have been mildly Gnostic, and the gospel shows evidence of later redaction to make it more acceptable to a broader Christian audience.
