It must be understood that there is no requirement for anything in particular to be recorded in any of the Gospels. Some events are recorded in all four and others in only one. It is also a difficult judgment to make that something is 'the most important of Jesus' miracles.' It is uncertain what criteria one would use to decide this.

The leaving out of any particular event or detail does not imply anything about either the historicity of that event or suggest a contradiction between another gospel which includes it.

There could be all kinds of reasons why one particular thing in Luke is not included in the others. Luke, being a physician himself, certainly was interested in things relating to medicine and healing. This may have explained why he included a particular account left out of the others.

In any case without the details of the particular miracle in question, it is difficult to make only these general observations.

How did the gospels come to be written?

The Gospels came to be written by man....through God....the gospels are the life of Jesus Christ from birth to his years of ministering to God to his gruesome death....


Who are what group or people were the gospels written for?

Matthew was written primarily for the Jews. Luke was written for the believing Romans or non-Jews. John was written for gnostics--people who believed more in knowledge and mysticism. Mark was probably the earliest Gospel written, and written for the followers of Jesus.


When was the book of Matthew mark Luke and john written?

Matthew, Mark, and Luke are called synoptic gospels because they are from the same point of view.John is the four gospel, written to fill in for the others and to help those find Jesus who did not know him in person.


What do you think about the written report that we have from the eyewitnesses of Jesus?

A:Unfortunately there is no written report by any eyewitness to the life of Jesus anywhere in the Bible or elsewhere. Even conservative Christians concede that the Gospels of Mark and Luke were not written by eyewitnesses. Scholars say that all the New Testament gospels were written anonymously and that they were not attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John until later in the second century. They say that the Gospels of Matthew and John were unlikely to have been written by the disciples of those names, so that even these gospels were not eyewitness accounts. The gospels are certainly accounts about Jesus, whether reliable or otherwise, but they were not written by eyewitnesses or even by some who knew eyewitnesses.


What are the three stages in the formation of the Gospels?

The books were not arranged in the order of when written but according to subject matter. The first five books are about Jesus life and His activities preaching the good news of the kingdom along with Acts being about what those first four books led to, that is the activities of the apostles and the forming of congregations by the preaching work Jesus commanded them to do at Matthew 28:19-20. The next 21 books were of the inner workings of the congregations. Last the book of revelation which talks of the future out come of God's people and the world.

Is authorship of the Gospels an important issue for Christians in today's society?

I do not believe that authorship of the Gospels is an important issue for Christians today. Most Christians have faith and do not question or try to justify that faith.For some Christians, the truth of the Gospels is based on the assumption that they were written by eyewitnesses or close associates of eyewitnesses. It is also based, to some extent, on the assumption that the Gospels are not dependent on each other, thus providing a level of mutual verification. For these Christians it may be an important issue to realise that the Gospels were actually written much later than generally assumed and that the authors were neither eyewitnesses nor close associates of eyewitnesses. It may also be important for them that the Gospels of Matthew, Luke and John are based, directly or indirectly, on the earliest Gospel, Mark.
