Didi the apostles write any books of the bible or were they quoted from others later on?

Question

*did the apostles

Answer 1

Well, Matthew, John, and Peter did and where three of the original apostles. Paul also had a direct encounter with Christ on a road and therefore is an apostle and wrote much of the New Testament. Mark, Luke, and James were all disciples that were very close to one or more of the apostles.

So, I would say that the answer is yes and the entire cannon was completed by approximately 90 A.D.

Answer 2

Matthew and John were Gospels written by apostles / disciples that walked with Jesus. John also wrote Revelations and 1-3 John. Peter also wrote a couple of NT books. The Apostle Paul also had a personal experience with Jesus after His resurrection. Luke was a historian that counted on eye witnesses. James was Jesus brother.

Answer 3

In the New Testament, the books of Matthew, John, James, I Peter, II Peter, I John, II John, III John were all written by the men after whom they are named. The apostle John recorded the book of Revelation.

Al the other books were written by either Paul, Luke, Mark or the people the books are named after. However they where not par of the 12 but were followers of Jesus.

Hope this helps

Answer 4

Matthew and John were the only Apostles who actually put pen to paper to write their Gospels.

Mark was Peter's scribe, and wrote his Gospel from Peter's sermons and recollections.

Luke was Paul's traveling companion, and investigated the history through interviews, and listening to Paul's teachings.

Mark's is likely the earliest Gospel, and John's is likely the last one written. Further, the oldest papyri fragment of a Gospel comes from John 18, and is a copy dated to about the turn of the century (1st to 2nd.) Because it was discovered in the Nile region, it would have to have been written within John's lifetime, as he wrote from Ephesus.

Answer 5

Yes, Matthew, Mark and John were all Apostles. Luke was a physician (or so it is assumed) who never knew Jesus and began his works trying to disprove that Jesus was the Christ.

There are also other books written but not considered canonical, like St Thomas book. There were also other books written not by disciples but by other people at that time, they are also part of the Apocrypha. While not considered to be fact, they are fun to read, they let you into how people in that day saw Jesus.

Answer 6

Both:

Paul:
Romans
I +II Corinthians
Galatians
Ephesians
Philippians
Colossians
I + II Thessalonians
I + II Timothy
Titus
Philemon
maybe Hebrews

John:
Gospel of John
I, II, III John
Revelation

Peter:
I + II Peter

Luke wrote his Gospel account and Acts by interviewing outside sources.

PS: These books were written 20-30 years after the Ascension, not after they say they were written.

Answer 7

Paul wrote half of the New testament. Matthew wrote one gospel, John wrote a gospel, 3 letters and Revelations, Peter wrote 2 letters (books).

Answer 8

The apostles wrote none of the books, most are dated as to having been written 20-30+ years later.

Answer 9

Paul wrote 70% of the Bible and he didn't even know Christ. He pretended to be a Christian after killing so many of them. He was afraid that God would kill him so he pretended. Some of what he says is truth but he's a rascal that is your Bible. Much of the bible was taken out by King Constantine. He said stricken everything to do with Reincarnation (To control the People) and take out everything to do with Vegetarianism because he was a meat eater. He pretended to be a Christian. If you want the lost teachings of Christ and the real teachings go to http://www.essene.org You will be amazed at what the Catholic church has hidden from us for centuries

Answer 10

For sure Luke and Mathew wrote their own. St. Paul wrote some of his but, mostly his were written by Luke too
