Scholars say that the mission of Jesus described in the synoptic gospels could have been accomplished in just a few weeks, and that they certainly seem to assume that his mission was no more than one year. John's Gospel must cover a period of just over three years, because of the four visits to Jerusalem at the time of the Passover.

What was the role of Herod in the Gospel of Luke?

A:King Herod does not play a role in Luke's Gospel. It is only in Matthew's Gospel that he jealously seeks to have Jesus killed, finally ordering the death of the infants under two years old. In Luke's Gospel, it must be Quirinius who wields real power, because he required Joseph to go to Bethlehem for the census.


What time period does the gospel of Matthew cover?

The book of Matthew starts with the birth of Jesus which occurred around 4-5 BC and the last chapter finishes with Jesus' last words before being taken up in the air and returning to heaven. Jesus was 33 years old when He died on the cross and rose 3 days later. It was 40 days after His resurrection when He was taken up into heaven. Therefore the time period is approximately between 4BC to 33 AD.


Why is Luke's gospel called the gospel of infancy?

Not whole his gospel is called that name. The first chapters held this name because as the only one of four gospels that are in Bible tells anything about annuciation (of both St John the Bapist and Jesus), birth, epiphany, escape to Egypt and presentation in the Temple. It also mentions about Jesus aged 12 discussed with Jewish wisemen in the Temple. The next chapters tells same story as 3 other gospels, but not exactly the same - in other words, with another details and so on, but meaning is the same.

Is the birth of Jesus Christ told in all four gospels?

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with the deep stuff! So, like, technically, not all four gospels cover the birth of Jesus. Matthew and Luke are the ones that spill the details on that whole manger situation. Mark and John are just like, "Eh, we'll catch up with Jesus later, no biggie." So, yeah, it's a mixed bag in the gospel world.

Does Luke's Gospel record the story of the Wise Men at Jesus' birth?

A:No. Although Lukewas written a few years after Matthew, the author was unaware of Matthew's Gospel or what had already been written about the birth of Jesus. As a result, he had no way of knowing about the wise men and could not write about them. The gospels do agree when they rely on the same sources - Mark's Gospel and the hypothetical 'Q' document.
