There is strong evidence that the first gospel, now known as Mark's Gospel, was written within two or three years of the year 70 CE. The second gospel, Matthew's Gospel is widely believed to have been written around 85 CE, although Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) suggests an allowance of about ten years either way.
The second gospel, the Gospel of Mark, is believed to have been written around 66-70 AD.
Most biblical scholars believe that the Gospel of Matthew was not written by an eyewitness of Jesus' ministry, but by a second-generation Christian who compiled various sources, including the oral traditions of the early Christian community. It is thought to have been written between 80-90 AD.
John 20:30-31 30And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31 But these are written, that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you might have life through his name.John wrote to give a theological presentation of whom Christ was and why He came. His purpose was evangelistic in nature. Christ's role as Lord and Messiah is emphasised, and encapsulated in the seven great "I Am" statements. John also wanted to teach the role of the Trinity in salvation. Answer John states his reason for writing his gospel: John 20:30, 31 - And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. [NKJV]Another AnswerSome say that the apostle John wrote the Gospel to correct serious errors in the other New Testament gospels.However, it would be surprising that John waited so long to correct the record. Moreover, the early Church Father, Origen, did not believe that John's Gospel was a more true record, saying (Commentary on John), "although he does not always tell the truth literally, he always tells it spiritually."Further, some scholars say that John's Gospel drew from Luke's Gospel, meaning that it could not have been written by an eyewitness to the events it describes. John's Gospel was originally anonymous, and John was first mentioned in the known record as the author, late in the second century. Others say that John's Gospel was written in response to a debate about who Jesus was.
The Gospel of John is believed to be the last Gospel chronologically among the four canonical Gospels in the New Testament. It is traditionally thought to have been written later than the other Gospels and provides a unique perspective on the life and teachings of Jesus.
The gospel of Mark is the shortest gospel.AnswerThe first and shortest gospel in the New Testament is called Mark's Gospel, as it was attributed to the apostle Mark by Papias in the second century. Bibical scholars say there is no good reason to accept this attribution, so we do not know who really wrote this gospel.
Yes, scholars generally agree that the Gospel of Mark was likely written between 60 and 70 AD. This dating is based on an analysis of the content and historical context within the text.
The three epistles attributed to John are regarded as comming from the same community as the Gospel According to John, and to have been written shortly after John's Gospel. Thus the Second Epistle of John would have been written fairly early in the second century.
AnswerThe first and shortest gospel in the New Testament is called Mark's Gospel, as it was attributed to the apostle Mark later in the second century. However, it was written anonymously and we do not know who really wrote this gospel.
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.
It has long been assumed that the first gospel to be written was Matthew's Gospel. After all, it is usually the first gospel in the New Testament, and the second-century Church Fathers came to that conclusion, believing it to have been written in Hebrew.However, New Testament scholars now know that Mark's Gospel was the first New Testament gospel to be written, and that all the gospels were actually written in Greek. We do not really know the names of the gospel authors, as they were all written anonymously until speculatively attributed to the persons whose names they now bear, later in the second century.
A Gospel form first are the four gospels of the new testament matthew, mark, luke, and john. Second the Gospel For considered a biography of jesus which is written in the Gospels. Similar to Memorabilia that XENPHON had written about Socrates.
A:Matthew's Gospel was written anonymously and therefore does not mention its author. It was attributed to the disciples Matthew later in the second century, but biblical scholars say that the Gospel could not have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed.

We can not say exactly which year each of the New Testament gospels was written, but we can come close. Scholars say that Mark's Gospel was written approxmately 70 CE. Matthew's Gospel is believed to have been written during the 80s CE, although Raymond E Brown (''An Introduction to the New Testament'') cautions to allow a few years either side of that decade. Luke's gospel was written in the 90s of the first century, or early in the second century. John's Gospel was written early in the second century.
No. Scholars have demonstrated that Mark's Gospel was written first, and that Matthew's Gospel was partly based on the contents of Mark's Gospel. Matthew's Gospel was originally written anonymously and only attributed to St Matthew later in the second century. However, scholars say that Matthew could not have been written by an eyewitness to the events it portrays.The disciple Matthew did not write any of the gospels.
The shortest gospel is Mark's Gospel, written approximately 70 CE and originally anonymous. It was attributed to the apostle Mark, later in the second century, but biblical scholars say that the author would not have been someone close to an actual eyewitness to the events portrayed. We do not know who really wrote this gospel.
A:All four New Testament gospels were written anonymously and were not attributed by the Church Fathers to supposed authors until later in the second century. The gospel now known as Matthew's Gospel was attributed to the disciple Matthew because this gospel emphasises the role of Matthew more than any other gospel. This does not mean that the author actually was Matthew, and modern New Testament scholars say that the gospel could not have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed, but tradition ever since the second century links the gospel with Matthew.
