Bible Question: why is Marks gospel so different from Matthew |
Bible Answer: LSmith, The answer to your question can be found in looking at who the authors were writting to. Matthew was writting to a mainly jewish audience and Mark to a gentile audience primarily Romans. Matthew writes in away that his intended audience will grasp by quoting heavily from the OT to prove that Jesus is the Messiah while Mark writes in a way to capture the interest of the Roman audiance he is writting to focusing on action based events because this is what his audience would relate to. You can find indepth coverage of this subject in the introduction to each book in Nelson's Complete Study System Bible product number 2885 as well as severel books that have been writting on the harmony of the Gospels. Hope thi helps. In The Love Of Christ, tgc |
