When was the first Gospels written after Jesus life?

Question

I heard it was 30 odd yearss?by ST Paul, then. The Luke and Mathew, many years later. Is that true?
How old would that of made Jesus's decipals, when the Gospels where written?
What was the averge age of death for, a person in them times?

If Paul wrote about Jesus first. How comes he never said , that Jesus was born from a Virgin Mother?? An important point to miss out.
This part of the Bible I am not clear on.

So you are saying. The Gospels writings, are second, second hand???? Word of Mouth??

And that is taken as truth?????

If this is the case. Then it is a blind foolish Faith? And that people who throw lines from the Bible at me. Do not have a clue where them lines come from??

I mean what lines Jesus said, and what lines have been changed by word of mouth..

30 plus years is still a long time... Then how would we know about Mary, then that would be 60 plus years from Luke, after the advent? Word of Mouth? Mary told him?

Answer 1

The Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark & Luke) were written first.

The book of Mark was written in the 50s or early 60s, although some claim it was written as late as the 70s. Considering Jesus' death was about A.D. 30, that would only make it 20 or 30 years after his death. Mark was most likely written by John Mark, Peter's associate (Acts 10:37).

The book of Matthew was written by the apostle Matthew who is mentioned in all the Gospels. His was written specifically for Jews, probably during the late 50s or 60s, although, again, it could have been as late as the 70s. Matthew was probably around the same age as Jesus, although we do not know for sure, so that would put him in his 50s or 60s as he is writing.

The book of Luke was written latest, probably in the 60s or 70s. This Luke was a friend of Paul's, a doctor by profession, and probably a Gentile (non-Jew). His book was probably wirtten around the 60s.

Paul wrote many letters which have been canonized, and these we have a more accurate idea of when they were written. The book of Romans, for example, was written in the spring of A.D. 57. At the beginning of Acts, when Stephen is stoned, we are told that Paul was a "young man." When his books were written, then, he may have been only about 45 or 50 years old.

As far as the virgin birth, it depends somewhat on the audience. Matthew points it out as a fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecy, because his message was directed to the Jews who knew the Old Testament. Mark skips over Jesus' birth entirely. He was, however, writing to the Gentiles, who were very learned, intelligent people (think: predecesors of the ancient Greeks). He, therefore, emphasized Jesus' humanity, and probably knew that starting a book by a virgin birth may have seemed too ridiculous to these Gentiles and they would have been turned off of it right away. Luke's Gospel was a "universal" Gospel, and he sent his message to everyone -- Jews & Gentiles, women & men, people of all ages. His purpose was to show people that the Gospel is for everyone. He definately talks about the virgin birth, and includes Mary's Magnificat -- her song of thanks for the many blessings which God gave her -- probably to show people that God does bless men and women alike, and remind them that He gave this huge blessing to a poor, peasant woman.

Hope that helps clear some things up!

Answer 2

The four Gospels are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Matthew was written approximately A.D 60-65. Mark between A.D.55 and 65. Luke about A.D. 60 and John probably A.D. 85-90. Jesus died and resurrected in A.D. 30. Matthew and John were the only two of the four that was actually there with Jesus. John does not mention Jesus' birth either and he knew Jesus first hand.

We know about Mary because when Jesus was on the cross He told John (the guy who wrote the gospal John) to look after His mother.

Answer 3

Only 1 part you're not clear on? The whole thing makes no sense. The bible wasn't even existence at all until 140 AD. By then various parts the religious leaders didn't want in it were left out. Yes, the gospels were written about 30-60 years after the death of jesus, making the deciples very, very old, if alive at all.

Answer 4

Your question isn't smart in any respect. If the Gospels have been written via witnesses of the existence of Jesus, then it logically follows that they could have been around to verify Jesus die on the go, Jesus born of a virgin and something, If we make your assumption, that witnesses wrote the Gospels, then there's no ought to ask, "Why is that?" of course they have been there and observed it. regrettably, no person replaced into there and no person observed something,. all the memories we've are made up fabrications, The 4 gospels disagree in maximum of places that they each and each disqualify one yet another as any style of authority on the undertaking of the existence of Jesus,. on the very maximum, they are the mad ramblings of a religiously non secular inhabitants blinded via their faith.

Answer 5

You and I could write a book about the same thing but our points of view would be totally different. I would think certain parts might be important while you would see other angles to focus on. The writers although inspired by God still wrote in their own styles and points of views. God superintended the Bible and included exactly what needed to be said.

Answer 6

It is futile to try to find logic and consistency in a collection of middle eastern tales and legends written over the years by many different authors.

Answer 7

They were written by followers of the disciples. The disciples had disciples that wrote the story according to what they had been told.
