Bible Question:
Who wrote Luke 1? Is it the same person who wrote Matthew? Also, What is the difference between John and 1 John, are they different people? Is there a lineage for Mary's side of Christ's family? Is it published in the Bible? |

He was the tax collector called by Jesus to become one of His disciples. The Gospel of John and the three epistles of John were written by the disciple John.
