Where did Matthew and Luke probably get a lot of their ideas?

Answer 1

From Mark

Another Answer

Believers are satisfied that The Bible in its entirety was inspired by the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 3:16), and that its writers were scribes, rather than originators of the material.

Another Answer

Matthew was a direct participant and therefore eyewitness of the events and teachings he described and recorded.

Luke spoke to those who were eyewitnesses. Over 50% of what Luke recorded was different from what others wrote. The content, particularly in the early events of Jesus' life would lead to the obvious conclusion that Mary, mother of Jesus, was one of his sources.

Of course, over all that they wrote was the divine supervision of the Spirit of God.

Answer 2

Scholars now know that the four New Testament gospels were originally anonymous and that they were only attributed to the apostles whose names they now bear later in the second century, when the Church Fathers were seeking to decide who probably wrote each of the gospels. The scholars say that the authors could not have been eyewitnesses to the events they described, nor could they have known good eyewitnesses to those events.

Matthew and Luke obtained most of their material about the life and mission of Jesus from the Gospel of Mark, itself originally an anonymous gospel. Whenever Matthew and Luke agree with Mark, they do so with remarkable consistency, usually with exactly the same words in the Greek language, somthing that could not have occurred if they were relying on oral traditions or Aramaic sources. Matthewcontains some 600 of the 666 verses to be found in Mark. Luke contains soemwhat less, largely because of thetwo omissions, particualrly the "Missing Block" or "Great Omission", apparently consisting of thirteen pages of Greek text that must have been missing from the copy of Mark that Luke'sauthor used as his source. The Missing Block results in the curious conjunction found in Luke 9:18 "And it came to passas he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them ..." These clauses are found in Mark at the start and end of the Missing Block.

Matthew and Luke are also believed to have obtained sayings attributed to Jesus from the hypothetical 'Q' document. This was a list of sayings attributed to Jesus, but did not include any information about when or where Jesus would have spoken them, nor in what context. So, although Matthew and Lukeagree closely on the sayings, they usually place them in different contexts.

We do not know where the authors of Matthew and Lukegot their nativity accounts, but it appears that Matthew was attempting to draw a parallel between Moses and Jesus. At least in respect to the visit of the magi, John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) says that Matthew was clearly writing Christian midrash. We can not be sure where Luke obtained his information about the census of Quirinius, but elsewhere this auithor is known to have used the works of the Jewish historian, Josephus, who mentioned a census in the time of Quirinius, approximately 6 CE. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that the best explanation is that, although Luke likes to set his Christian drama in the context of well-known events from antiquity, sometimes he does so inaccurately.

We do not know where the authors of Matthew and Lukegot their genealogies of Jesus (Matthew 1:1-17 and Luke 3:23-38) going all the way back to Abraham and Adam, but they disagree significantly with the Old Testament genealogies. Matthew's genealogy says that Jacob was the father of Joseph (Matthew 1:16); Luke's genealogy says that Heli was the father of Joseph (Luke 3:23).

We do not know where the authors of Matthew and Lukegot their two quite different stories of the appearances of the risen Jesus. Mark originally ended at verse 16:8, with the young man saying that Jesus was risen and the women ran off in terror, telling no one; the "Long Ending" (verses 16:9-25) were added much later, to provide the necessary evidence of the risen Jesus.

Answer 3

Matthew and Luke likely got many of their ideas from the Gospel of Mark, as both Gospels share a lot of material and wording from Mark. They also may have drawn from a collection of sayings of Jesus, known as the Q source, which is believed to be a theoretical collection of Jesus' teachings that influenced both Gospels.
