4 chapters of the bible?

Question

After reading the bible, i have always wondered who matthew, mark, luke and john were?
why is there name there. Who were they? As far as i understand, it is the bible according to matthew, mark etc. Where is the bible section according to Jesus as he bought the bible, this is sooooo confusing

do whatthe individual below me is saying is that the bible was not by jesus or god????

the jist of what i am getting back is that there is are more chapters by Judas, Mary etc. But i dont want to know any of them, i just want to know the bible which was written by Jesus - not about his life but about how man should compose themselves

Answer 1

Matthew, Mark, Like and John were contemporaries of Jesus. Matthew and John were two of the twelve Disciples. They walked with jesus and saw all that he did. Jesus' ministry was not about writings but about action. He healed the sick, the lame, the halt. He restored people. His disciples wrote what he did after His crucifiction. They were too busy doing the work he had for them while He was here to wrtie much.

Answer 2

Happy new year to you! Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were disciples or followers of Jesus when he was on earth. I think Luke was a physician/doctor, others were fishermen. Just ordinary folks like you and me. After Jesus was put to death and then resurrected, his followers started to write about the life of Jesus and these four books, the first four in the New Testament, are called The Gospels, according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus didn't actually write any books - the writing was left to Jesus' followers, those who formed the early Christian church.

Christians believe that God inspired mortal men to write the Bible (Old and New Testament) so, although written by men, we trust it to be God's holy and sacred word.

You will probably get lots of sarcastic and unhelpful answers to your question, but I'm glad you asked it - there's a lot we take for granted until someone asks us why. God bless.

Answer 3

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the Gospel writers, sometimes rfered to as the four evangelists. The "Gospels" are New Testament books that record the life and ministry of Jesus Christ - they are like "eye-witness" testimonies of what Jesus of Nazareth did.

Matthew and John were two of the original 12 disciples or Apostles of Jesus Christ. Mark was also an early disciple, although not one of the original 12. He was close to the apostle John and helped the apostles of the Lord (like Paul) in several capacities. Luke was a physician who was converted to Christianity shortly after the resurrection of Jesus. He was one of the apostle Paul's companions in his missionary journeys all over the Mediteranea. Luke undertook to write a kind of "history" of Christianity by first writing about the life of Jesus (Gospel According to Luke) and then about the spread of Christianity (the book of Acts).

Oh, "Gospel" simply means "Good News"

Answer 4

Matthew was a Jew, hired by Rome to collect taxes in Capernaum. He was also known as Levi. Jesus called him to be an apostle.
Matthew was probably wealthy. He hosted a great feast for Jesus.
Mark traveled with his cousin Barnabus and with Paul. Peter and Paul favorably mentioned him. He was known as Mark (Latin) and John (Hebrew).
Luke was a Greek doctor. He was the friend of the Apostle Paul, who referred to Luke as the "beloved physician" (Colossians 4:14). As befits a doctor, medical details are often introduced in this gospel (Luke 4:38, 5:12, 6:6, 9:39-42, 18:25, 22:44).
James and John were the sons of Zebedee and Salome. They were fishermen who were business partners with Peter and Andrew (Luke 5:10).
John was one of the three who were selected to be with Jesus at the raising of Jairus' daughter, the transfiguration, and in the Garden of Gethsemane. In addition to the fourth gospel, John also wrote 1st, 2nd, and 3rd John, as well as the Revelation.
The New Testament of the Bible was written long after Jesus was dead from the recolections of peple who knew of him. So there can be no Book of Jesus.

Answer 5

They are called the four Evangelists and the Bible was written after Jesus had died. Mark is considered to be the earliest writer of the Gospels. John is considered to be one of the twelve of Jesus' disciples. The letters of St. Paul are very early writings, he died around 60 AD. They were all put together in time.

Answer 6

The Bible was written by the inspiration of God for doctrine, correction and encouragement in righteousness. He inspired the writers of the books of the bible who though did not know themselves and they wrote at different eras, there is incredible harmony in the books. As for Matthew and Mark were Jesus' apostles so some of the account is written as the gospel according to Mathew and Mark & John as the case may be. They wrote thier account of the life of Jesus. Luke was a physician who though not his direct apostle gave his account of the life of Jesus as a man. Each account is somewhat different. If you read John's gospel, it sheds light into Jesus' life as the son of God. All these accounts were written after the death and ressurection of Jesus. After the gospels follows the book of the Acts of the apotles, chronicling their acts after the death of Jesus. This book was written by Paul even though he was not an apostle, became converted whilst he was on a killing rampage of christians. He was sold out to God. The life of Jesus so touched him that he went on to write most of the new testament under the inspiration of God

Jesus is called the word of God. This means He embodies all that has been written in the Bible. It is not that he literarily brought a bible along with him at his birth. It means he is the sum total of all that God desires for humankind.

God has always wanted to relate with human beings, His ultimate creation but after the fall of Adam and Eve, he planned to send His son to redeem the world from its sins since as a righteous judge, all sins must be punished except they were atoned for. As crude as this may sound, without the shedding of blood, there was no atonement hence the various blood sacrifices of bulls and goats in the old testament. The only thing was that this was done on a yearly basis. There was need for the spotless sacrifice. One who had never sinned to atone the sins of the world. Which is why various forerunners namely the prophets spoke about and announced the coming of that final sacrifice, His Son who will be born of a virgin. The purpose was that the sacificial 'lamb' in this case would not have been tainted by anything in this world. If he was born of a man, he would just be like you and I.

Anyway after Jesus' death, all that is needed is beleive that He is the son of God and accept him into our lives to direct our dealings and draw us closer to God.

I urge you to read the Bible again. You will get clarity.

Answer 7

m,m,l,j, were Jesus disciples, they were with him when he started his ministry at the age of 30. he had 12 disciples, but only 4 wrote Gospels, Gospel means good news. the whole bible is about Jesus. the old testament fortells the new testament. holy men of god wrote by the holy spirit.the bible is the word of god. you need to be born again to understand the bible, you must come to the realisation that you are a sinner, that you have no power over your sin. you have to believe that Jesus shed his blood for your sins.a simple pray like this: Jesus, i don't understand what the bible says, but i know there is nothing i can do on my own to bring me to eternal life, i ask that you would save me, come into my heart, and and make me whole. pray that prayer now, and find a bible teaching church, keep studying, god bless.

Answer 8

Nebuchadnezzar, after having subdued all the neighboring countries, and greatly enriched and adorned his own, became so intoxicated with his prosperity, as to draw down upon himself a very remarkable judgment, of which this chapter gives a particular account, in the very words of the edict or proclamation which the Babylonish monarch issued on his restoration to the throne. This state document begins with Nebuchadnezzar’s acknowledging the hand of God in his late malady, Dan_4:1-3. It then gives an account of the dream of Nebuchadnezzar, which portended the loss of his kingdom and reason for seven years, on account of his pride and arrogance, Dan_4:4-18. So it was explained by Daniel, Dan_4:19-27, and so it was verified by the event, Dan_4:28-33. It then recites how, at the end of the period fixed by the God of heaven for the duration of his malady, the Chaldean monarch became sensible of his dependence on the Supreme Being, and lifted up has eyes to heaven in devout acknowledgment of the sovereign majesty of the King of kings, the Ruler of the earth, whose dominion alone is universal, unchangeable, and everlasting, Dan_4:34-37.

Answer 9

they are a bunch of fables that contradict each other, that's why it is confusing. There are many more gospels than those in the bible, but the church threw them out because they didn't like them. talk about tapering with the truth! you should look into the lost gospel of Judas, Mary and Thomas. They show Jesus in very different lights.

Answer 10

If you are expecting to find the writings of Jesus, forget it .All and everything that is, known, written, spoken, and thought, are interpretations produced long after his death. Nothing that Jesus every wrote(if he ever did write anything), survives, only the words of others, which over the passage of time, alteration, addition and deletion, arrives as the truth today.
