1 | the first account written to the ophilus | Luke 1:3 | Morant61 | 74292 | ||
Greetings EdB! Here is what Papias said about the relationship between Peter and Mark. "For information on these points, we can merely refer our readers to the books themselves; but now, to the extracts already made, we shall add, as being a matter of primary importance, a tradition regarding Mark who wrote the Gospel, which he [Papias] has given in the following words]: And the presbyter said this. Mark having become the interpreter of Peter, wrote down accurately whatsoever he remembered. It was not, however, in exact order that he related the sayings or deeds of Christ. For he neither heard the Lord nor accompanied Him. But afterwards, as I said, he accompanied Peter, who accommodated his instructions to the necessities [of his hearers], but with no intention of giving a regular narrative of the Lord's sayings. Wherefore Mark made no mistake in thus writing some things as he remembered them. For of one thing he took especial care, not to omit anything he had heard, and not to put anything fictitious into the statements. [This is what is related by Papias regarding Mark; but with regard to Matthew he has made the following statements]: Matthew put together the oracles [of the Lord] in the Hebrew language, and each one interpreted them as best he could. [The same person uses proofs from the First Epistle of John, and from the Epistle of Peter in like manner. And he also gives another story of a woman(1) who was accused of many sins before the Lord, which is to be fount in the Gospel according to the Hebrews."

Tim Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't Papias been proven wrong on a lot of things. I think he or others first presented Papias as a disciple of Polycarp and a hearer of John, when in fact most of his information has been proved to be second and third party at best. EdB |

Ed, Here are two links. The first is an article on Papias, which dicusses some disputed questions and the second is the "Fragments" of Papias. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11457c.htm http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0125.htm Emmaus |
