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? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Shallae and welcome to the forum. The first 4 books of the New Testament are called the gospels. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke are known as the synoptic gospels. They all take a common view of the life of Christ, and emphasize Jesus' humanity. Matthew emphasizes Him as the King or Messiah. Mark emphasizes Him as the tireless servant Luke emphasizes Him as the Ideal Man The 4th gospel, John, emphasizes Jesus' diety and presents Him as the Son of God. Whereas the book of John is a gospel, 1John is known as an epistle or letter. There was a lot of heresy in the churches at that time that denied that Christ was God incarnate. John wrote the letter to expose false teachers and to give believers the assurance of salvation. There are 2 different geneologies of Jesus in the NT. The first one is in Matthew 1:1-16 and shows how Jesus lineage through His earthly father and proves His legal right to the throne. Luke 3:22-38 gives His lineage through His mother and proves His blood-right to the throne. I hope I have answered your questions. If you have more let me know. prayon |
