Why are Matthew and John so amazing? Mark and luke have crackhouse vibes in comparison.

Luke has some good parts

I was referring to the prose and not the content itself .

But the prose is the same for the synoptic gospels. John is a bit different, yes.

Is this redditor (lol) seriously upset that a book from at least 3,000 years ago doesn't read like Game of Thrones or something?

>> No.22627796

>>22627762
some people believe the Bible contains mystical knowledge encoded in the language, so there could be deeper meaning to the creation myth
it's not like they were trying to write something cool based on nothing like your redditor there

Luke is a historian. compare him to Tacitus and the like, and not to prose stylists.
his writing is amazing.

Matthew is the oldest gospel and the """Q document""" never existed.

I think so too. But the Mark case is striking when noted that Mt and Lk agree with it and not each other.

Matthew is indeed the gospel of oldest Jewish Christian sect. But not the first. They got scooped by Mark and scrambled to make their own, translate it to Hebrew, and claim priority. However, they copied a ton of Mark and corrected his references to the old testament. Which is why we know Mark came first.
