Explain why the authors at times differ from each other in their accounts.
-
They differ in terms of their backgrounds and profession. These reasons were evident when we read the Gospels.
-
The authors at times differ from each other in their accounts for a variety of reasons. One reason they differ is because they each come from a different background. For example, Luke was a physician so his writing to will follow a different set of standards from someone who is not a physician. Another reason they are different is because Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are all writing to different audiences. They will write according to their audience and emphasis certain components of Christ’s ministry.
-
I believe the authors accounts differ at times because each author interprets or sees things differently than each other. Two can see the same thing but still interpret it different. It depends on the person seeing or hearing the event.
-
Each writer seen the events that took place during Jesus’ life here from different angles, Matthew and John from their personal relationship with Jesus. and Mark and Luke from what they had learned through teachings, research, and study.
-
Each writer of the Gospels was a unique individual who experienced their journey with Christ differently! It’s like reconstructing an event from talking to multiple people who experienced it!
