Let us let us start this short study with a brief
introduction to the four gospels.
They are called the Gospel according to Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John.
They were written by four authors, between AD 66
and 100.
All four Gospels are anonymous; the names were
added in the 2 century.
The Gospel of Mark was the first written, may be
around AD 66 - 70.
Matthew and Luke were written around AD 85 - 90.
John was written around AD 90 - 110.
The
apostles Matthew and John witnessed Jesus’ ministry from its inception through
His death and resurrection.
Mark,
a younger man was present at least during the later events of Jesus’ life, was
taught by the apostle and eyewitness Peter.
The
Gospel according to Luke is a report by a meticulous historian who claimed to
have “carefully investigated everything from the beginning”
