[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) The gospels were probably not written until many decades after his death. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* Yeah - stuff we consider the canon was essentially wrapped up by about 100 CE. The gospels were likely individuals taking other written material that was circulating around the time, and making their own little compilation based on the theological points that they wanted to make. It’s really clear when you read the gospels and know the order. Mark was probably first, Matthew and Luke pull heavily from Mark and share something from something we call “Q” and maybe a “saying source.” Then John was written last. It’s really clear when you look at the differences between the scene where they go to get Jesus’s body. In Mark - it’s just a guy who tells them Jesus isn’t there. Matthew has an earthquake and an Angel, Luke has two angels, John has Jesus himself say hi. John is where you get the most “divine” Jesus - because it really does seem that at first Jesus was understood as a mortal man speaking for God, but later influences from Greek philosophy and thoughts about “spirit” slowly turned Jesus into God. permalink fedilink source parent
