All the New Testament gospels were originally anonymous, until the second-century Church Fathers decided who they felt was most likely to have written each gospel. Modern biblical scholars say these speculative attributions are unlikely to represent the actual authors.

Mark's Gospel, the first New Testament gospel to be written, introduced many of Jesus' miracles to us, but we do not know who wrote this gospel.


Matthew's Gospel was largely based on Mark's Gospel, and so includes most of the miracles of Mark, as well as adding some spectacular further miracles such as the graves opening and the dead bodies rising and walking into Jerusalem. As with Mark's Gospel, we do not know who wrote this gospel.


John's Gospel has some of the most well known miracles of Jesus, including water into wine, and raising Lazarus but, once again, we do not know who wrote this gospel.

Are miracles of Jesus true?

A:To doubt the truth of the miracles, we do not need to believe that Jesus tried to deceive us by pretending to perform miracles that were not real. The first of the New Testament gospels was not written until forty years had passed since the time attributed to Jesus. That gospel, now known as Mark's Gospel, was written anonymously but most certainly not by an eyewitness to the events portrayed. The authors of the other gospels all relied on Mark, directly (Matthew, Luke) or indirectly (John) for everything they knew about the mission of Jesus. Thus, we have a group of accounts all written by anonymous authors who had no first-hand knowledge of the events they described, and who wrote long after the time of Jesus. There was plenty of time for memories of the teachings and actions of a holy man to be passed along and elaborated to become memories of miracles.

Where is the Gospel of Jesus we have many gospels but no gospel of Jesus Why?

Jesus was Himself the Gospel and 'the' preacher of the Gospel. He wrote no work or literature but lived what He taught. Others wrote about it later, particularly as they knew the Apostles would eventually die, and also to provide an authoritative record of truth against various heresies which were springing up. The works of the Gospel writers, two of whom were themselves Apostles and two not, were themselves 'Gospels of Jesus' in that they faithfully taught what Jesus said and did. There also were others present who could verify the truth of what was said and eager opponents who could disprove it if wrong.

What are the miracles Jesus performed in the gospel of john?

The Gospel of John is just one account of four that records miracles performed by Jesus. The actual number recorded for us is not as significant as the number not recorded for us. John wrote in John 21: 24-25: "This is the disciple who testifies of these things, and wrote these things; and we know that his (John) testimony is true. And there are also many other things that Jesus dis, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen."

Where is the Gospel of Jesus...We have many gospels but no gospel of Jesus. Why?

Answer #1:Luke 19:10 - for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.Jesus came into the world for a specific purpose; to reveal God's plan for the reconciliation of mankind and offer Himself as the atoning sacrifice. His mission would not have been served had He spent His time writing a book about Himself; others could (and did) do just that. Answer #2:The true gospel IS the gospel of Jesus Christ. As far as anyone knows, Jesus was not a writer. He was someone who spoke and demonstrated, but never wrote. And the "gospels" we have in the Bible are more accurately known as "gospel accounts" -- such as "The Gospel [of Jesus Christ] According To Matthew (or Mark, or Luke, or John)." So strictly speaking, there is not a Gospel of Matthew, or a Gospel of John -- it's just easier to say "Matthew's Gospel" or "John's Gospel." But really, it's the Gospel of Jesus that each one of those Apostles wrote about.
