Best Answer

The opening verses of the two Gospels, Matthew and Luke, differ in their focus and audience. Matthew's Gospel begins with a genealogy tracing Jesus' lineage back to Abraham, emphasizing Jesus' Jewish heritage and connection to the promises made to the Jewish people. On the other hand, Luke's Gospel starts with a prologue addressed to a broader audience, highlighting the historical context and the orderly account of Jesus' life that Luke intends to provide. These differences reflect the unique perspectives and intended audiences of the respective Gospel writers.

How many parallel verses are there in the synoptic gospels?

The synoptic gospels are those attributed to Matthew, Mark and Luke. Their parallel verses are documented in the Harmony of the Gospels section of The New Strong's Expanded Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible published by Thomas Nelson Publishers, whose bibles also often contain this material, which covers the parallel verses of the four canonical Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Since not all of the hundreds of parallels are contained in all three synoptic Gospels, an answer cannot be given as to the actual number, but following is a possible explanation for the parallel verses. The Gospel According to Mark was written in Greek, the universal language of the time, by an anonymous author who is commonly known as Saint Mark. The Gospel According to Mark was attributed to John Mark (also believed to be Marcus, son of the apostle Peter - I Pet. 5:13, KJV Bible, also Markus and Mark in other versions) beginning around 100 A.D. The Gospels According to Saints Matthew and Luke were written by anonymous authors and later attributed to Matthew and Luke. None of the synoptic gospel authors claimed to have been the persons traditionally associated with these gospels, or even to have been first-hand witnesses or to have known first-hand witnesses. 'Luke' went as far as to state that what he was writing was 'what we believe of things delivered to us by those who were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word from the beginning'. According to some scholars, the Gospels of Matthew and Luke main source of information on the life of Jesus was Mark's Gospel. Other scholars believe Mark's Gospel was based upon Matthew's Gospel. Some scholars believe the Gospels of Matthew and Luke used a hypothetical 'sayings of Jesus' document called the 'Q' document as a source for some of the sayings they attribute to Jesus. Although 'Q' is hypothetical, as there exists no early copy of it, and none of the early Church Fathers ever referred to it, scholars believe they may have been able to reconstruct much of its content by studying the Gospels. The supposition of the 'Q' document derived from the fact that the Gospels of Matthew and Luke reported many of the same sayings of Jesus, but maintained the sayings were uttered during different times and events in Jesus' ministry. Whenever the Gospels of Matthew and Luke agree upon a saying, the Greek text for that saying was the same in both gospels. The Gospel of Mark appears to have made little or no use of 'Q'.
