Ep. 12 - Testimonies of the Four Gospels

Testimonies of the Four Gospels. Matthew the Tax Collector, John Mark who they say preached to non jewish people and he did not write the book of Mark, Luke The book of Mark, written by John Mark, is considered the earliest Gospel by the majority of scholars and commentators, though some scholars argue for Matthew’s priority. In the New Testament canon, Mark is placed after Matthew and offers a distinct perspective on Jesus. In contrast to Matthew’s Jewish-centric approach, Mark is targeted to a non-Jewish audience. It presents facts concisely and provides explanations for Jewish customs and traditions unnecessary for Jewish readers (for example, Mark 7:3–4). Mark portrays Jesus as God’s servant, distinct from Matthew’s emphasis on kingship, offering a multifaceted view of the Son of God. n the Bible, Luke was a historian, theologian, and physician who wrote the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts. He is also known as Saint Luke the Evangelist. John the Baptise the cousin of Jesus.
