A:All the New Testament gospels were originally anonymous, so we do not really know who wrote any of them. Later in the second century, the early Church Fathers attributed the gospels to the apostles whose names they now bear. On the basis of these attributions, the Gospels of Mark and Luke were written by Gentiles. Modern scholars say that the second-century attributions are not likely to have been well-founded..

The Gospel of Luke and the Gospel of Mark are believed to have been written by Gentiles. Luke was a companion of the Apostle Paul and wrote his gospel to provide a detailed and orderly account of Jesus' life. Mark, a disciple of Peter, wrote his gospel to present a concise and action-packed narrative of Jesus' ministry.

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

The gospels were written for early Christian communities in the first century to share the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. They were intended to instruct, inspire, and strengthen the faith of believers and to provide a written record of Jesus's ministry for future generations.

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

The books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were written between 50-90 AD. Most scholars believe that Mark was the first Gospel written, followed by Matthew and Luke, with John being the last of the four Gospels to be written.


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.

If a gospel was written by a gentile how would that affect the gospel?

A:Since all the New Testament gospels were actually written anonymously we can not be sure, but it seems most likely that the authors were all gentiles. When the Church Fathers sought, in the course ofthe second century, to establish who probably wrote the four gospels, they eventually assigned two of them to gentiles and two to Jewish disciples mentioned in the gospels. However, modern New Testament scholars say that none of the gospels could really have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed. They were written long after the time attributed to Jesus and were not based on direct witness accounts. By reading the gospels in the original Greek language, scholars say that Matthew and Luke were actually based on Mark, with, for example, Matthew containing some 90 per cent of the verses in Mark. Matthew and Luke also share a second source for sayings material attributed to Jesus: the hypothetical 'Q' document. It has also been established that John's Gospel was loosely based on Luke, with some material taken direct from Mark. Various suggestions have been made as to where the author of Mark obtained the material for his gospel, but little of this is certain at this stage.Based on what we now know, the gospels that have come down to us today have been affected by being written by gentiles.

What are the 2 groups of the gospels?

Of the four canonical Gospels - Matthew, Mark and Luke are known as the synoptic gospels because they contain a lot of the stories - in some cases with almost the exact same wording. Matthew was written primarily to the Jews, Mark to the Romans, Luke to the Gentiles. The Gospel of John focuses less on specific historical events (ex. Jesus' birth) in the synoptic Gospels, but zeroes in on the signs that Jesus is the Messiah. It starts out claiming that Jesus is the Logos or Word of God and continues showing signs pointing to his divinity as much as his humanity.
