COMPILED AT AN UNCERTAIN DATE LATER
THAN 60 A.D.
This gospel, in common with the ‘The Gospel according to
St. Luke,’ incorporates the greater part of the record of the
ministry of Jesus given in ‘The Gospel according to St. Mark.’
It is probable that the compiler was able to make use of the
same sources as St. Mark had at his disposal, and perhaps
even of St. Mark's gospel itself. Beyond this, he was able
to add to that record a very important collection of the Sayings
of Jesus from some source of which the compiler of ‘The
Gospel according to St. Luke’ was also able to avail himself.
The gospel, in its present form, begins with a preface giving an
account of the birth of Jesus, and concludes with an appendix
giving an account of his resurrection. These are evidently
from sources other than those from which the body of the
work was derived.
The standpoint of the compiler of this gospel is clearly that
of a Jew writing primarily for converts from Judaism, one
marked feature being the prominence given to the fulfilment
of Jewish prophecy.
