AnswerThe Gospels of Matthew and Luke are now known to have been based on the Gospel of Mark, with additional sayings material taken from the hypothetical 'Q' document. However, there is material in Matthew that is not in any other gospel, just as there is material in Luke that is not in any other gospel.

Only Matthew has the wise men follow a star from the east to visit the baby Jesus, the flight of Mary and Joseph to Egypt with the baby Jesus, then years later the journey back towards their home in Bethlehem when, being warned in a dream, they turned aside and travelled to Nazareth in Galilee instead.

Matthew's genealogy of Jesus is entirely different from that of Luke. For example, Matthew gives the father of Joseph as Jacob (Matt 1:16) and the father of Salathiel as Jechonias (Matt 1:12), while Luke gives the father of Joseph as Heli (Luke 3:23) and the father of Salathiel as Neri.

Matthew 27:51-53 tells of an earthquake at the moment of the death of Jesus, that opened the graves and allowed the saints to arise and walk into Jerusalem, where they were seen by many.

On the day of the resurrection, Matthew says that the two Marys came to the sepulchre when there was a great earthquake that rolled away the stone, and they saw an angel who came and sat on the stone and talked to them. Luke says that the stone was already moved aside, they went in and saw two men in shining garments.

Only Matthew says that the chief priests and elders gave the guard a large bribe to say that the disciples had come and taken away the body of Jesus.

In Matthew, the risen Jesus only met the disciples in a mountain in Galilee, whereas Luke only has Jesus meet them in a room in Jerusalem on the evening of his resurrection, after which he led them out towards Bethany where he was taken bodily up into heaven.

Luke only has four beatitudes, while Matthew has eight.

Matthew copies almost all of Mark's Gospel (some 600 of the 666 verses), but Luke does not incorporate any material from Mark 6:47 to Mark 8:27a, pages of Greek text missing from the copy of Mark's Gospel relied on by the author of Luke. This is called the 'Missing Block' and includes, in succession:

· Jesus walking on the water

· Jesus in the region of Gennesaret

· 'clean and unclean

· the faith of the Syro-Phoenician woman

· the trip through Sidon and the Decapolis

· the healing of the deaf and mute man

· Jesus feeds the four thousand

· the yeast of the Pharisees and Herod

· the healing of a blind man at Bethsaida

· Jesus and disciples around Caesarea Philippi
