Bible Question: Why are Jesus stories (from the day he was born to the day he was crucified and risen) told differently in the four gospels on the new testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John)? |
Bible Answer: Hello Confused Catholic. Let me first tell you that I was raised catholic most of my life before I gave my life to Christ. We probably have alot in common. As for your question: John 14:26 says, "But the COMFORTER, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." This says that the disciples would remember things according to the way the Holy Spirit revealed it to them. Do you know how two people could see the same thing but discribe it differently? That's all that's happening in the gospels. If you read the stories, you will notice that not one UNDERSTANDING is contradicted. Only certain words are used differently and maybe the story is described a little more in detail in the different gospels. But the understanding is the important thing and that is not comprimised in any of the stories. God bless, Sal |
