Bible Answer: Just this one difference. Mark, Matthew, Luke and John differ in many areas as they relate the same basic stories; In Mark and Matthew, an angel visits Joseph and informs him about the Holy Spirit going to impregnate Mary. In Luke, the angel goes to Mary and tells her instead of Joseph. Also, later on in Matthew and Mark, when Jesus visits his hometown, Mary, maybe Joseph, and Jesus's brothers don't seem to know that he is the Son of God. In fact, they're embarrassed about what Jesus is doing. Now, go back to the beginning and remember that both Joseph and Mary were informed of their son's identity. Doesn't add up, that they wouldn't know later.... In Mark and Matthew, Jesus is baptized by John who knows him to be the Son of God. But later in Matthew, he has John send his own disciples to Jesus, to ask him if he is the Son of God. In Luke, John is in prison when Jesus is baptized. So, there are many, many variation, many differences. Remember that these Books are being written many years after the death of Jesus. Mark, Matthew and Luke were written 30 to 35 years afterwards. And mostly what they had to use for reference was "oral" tradition, handed down from one person to the other. And by that time, not too many, if any, were still living, even if they could be found. And the Book of John was written over 60 years after Jesus's death, so, for sure, not too many sources available.... Here's another to sort out: the foot washing episodes. Perfume gets poured over Jesus's head in at least two, and the other accounts, the perfume is poured over his feet and wiped away by a woman's hair. One has the woman just a woman from outside, another has her as a prostitute, another has her the sister of Lazurus, the man Jesus raised from the dead. It happens in a Simon the leper's house, and in Simon the Pharisee's house, and in the house of Lazurus....so many different versions at work. |
