Which two gospels were not written by one of Jesus' disciples?

A:All four New Testament gospels were originally anonymous and only attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John later in the second century. The gospel now known as John's Gospel was actually attributed to Cyrenthus before finally being attributes to John. The attributions to Matthew, Mark, Luke and Johnmean that Matthew and John were then considered to be witten by Jesus' disciples, while Mark and Luke were not.Modern New Testament scholars say that there is no good reason to accept the traditional attributions, and that none of the gospels could have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed. On this evidence, all the New Testament gospels were written by people who were not disciples.

Why were the Gospels not written immediately after Jesus' Death and ressurection?

The Gospels were not written immediately after Jesus' death and resurrection for several reasons. First, the early Christian community relied on oral traditions to share Jesus' teachings and stories, which allowed for the message to spread quickly without the need for written texts. Additionally, the first followers of Jesus likely believed that his return was imminent, reducing the urgency to document events. It wasn't until several decades later, as the original witnesses began to pass away and the need for a more permanent record became evident, that the Gospels were written down.


Are the four gospels about gods people before Jesus time on earth?

No. The four Gospels ('Gospel' means good news) are accounts by four of Jesus' contemporaries (and maybe one near-contemporary) about what Jesus said, what He did, where He went, to whom He spoke, etc. The Gospels contain references to God's people before Jesus' time (mostly made by Jesus Himself), but they are included only incidentally to the main thrust of the Scripture. The Gospels' principal focus is on Jesus.


Was Jesus born before the shepherds came?

Why do the Gospels basically tell the same story?

Each gospel was written to a different audience for a different reason. Matthew was written to the Jews to show that he was the promised Messiah. Mark was written to the Romans. Luke was written to the Greeks. John was written to show the divinity of Jesus. While the four gospels appear quite similar, deeper study reveals great differences in the message.
