Bible Question: why is the gospel of John different from Matt,Mark,Luke |
Bible Answer: It is thought by most scholars that Matthew and Luke based their accounts on Mark after reading it and noticing a few things missing. Thus the synopsis of the three shows a lot of similarities. John, however has a whole different personality and I for one am grateful for that difference. John probably waited until later in his life. You remember he was probably busy taking good care of Jesus' mother. But when he did turn into an author, look at the masterpieces he produced: his Gospel account, his 3 epistles and the Revelation. Yes I think we can appreciate the tremendous variety of information we're given. Again, I'm thankful for that vareity while at the same time, the Lord saw our human need for several different but similar accounts of the Gospels. God bless. --Rowdy |
