Jul 6, 2018 · This is the longest of the four gospels—in fact, it’s the longest book of the New Testament for that matter. Luke is the historical, journalistic Gospel: a thorough account of the episodes in Jesus’ life arranged in chronological order. This gospel was written to establish believers in the teachings of Jesus (Lk 1:1–4).
Sep 8, 2023 · These are the approximate dates the order of the Gospels were written: Matthew: 50-65 A.D. Mark: 55-65 A.D. Luke: 58-65 A.D. John: 80-95 A.D. The exact dating of the 4 Gospels is difficult because scholars have to rely on historical evidence and scientific methods to establish a probable date for the chronological order of these books in the ...
Jul 24, 2017 · Specifically, the Gospels refer to when Roman soldiers surrounded Jerusalem in 67 CE, and most notably the Gospels mention the complete destruction of the Jerusalem Temple, which happened in 70 CE (see e.g., Luke 21 and Mark 13). According to this scholarship, the Gospels were in all likelihood written after these events since they make direct ...
Sep 3, 2021 · The Gospels were written after the death and resurrection of Jesus. They were written in Greek, though an early account of Matthew’s Gospel was reportedly first written in Aramaic and circulated around Jerusalem before the later, official Gospel was prepared. Most scholars believe they were written between AD 50 and 90.
- Mark's Gospel. Most experts agree that Mark’s Gospel was written first. Even non-Christian scholars date Mark between thirty-five and forty-five years after Jesus’s death (i.e., between AD 60 and 70).
- Matthew's Gospel. Matthew’s Gospel is generally agreed to be later than Mark’s, with many experts dating it between AD 60 to 80. Papias also mentioned Matthew, suggesting that he may originally have written his Gospel in Hebrew or Aramaic (the common language of Jews of Jesus’s time and place).
- Luke's Gospel. Luke’s Gospel was likely written at a similar time to Matthew, between AD 60 and 80. But unlike the other Gospel authors, Luke went on to write a sequel, which we know as the book of Acts.
- John's Gospel. Most scholars think that John’s Gospel was the last one to be written, around sixty years after the events it records (approximately AD 90–95).
Oct 23, 2017 · Although the stories in the gospels match, they differ in order. Below is a proposed chronological outline of events in the New Testament gospels as they likely occurred. However, please note that this is only a proposed ordering of events - most events in the New Testament are not given specific dates/times in the scriptures and thus the table presented below is theoretical only.

Jan 2, 2015 · The story of Jesus of Nazareth is told in the New Testament by four different authors (see Fig. 4 (c)).
