euangelion = gospel = “good news”, as used in Mk 1:1 Mt, Mk, Lk = synoptic gospels = “gospels seeing things alike,” from Greek synoptikos (“seen together”) Synoptic problem = how to explain agreements and disagreements of wording in Mt, Mk, Lk

“proto-gospel” in Greek, Aramaic or other language, e.g. apocryphal Secret Mark or Gospel of Peter MatthewMarkLuke Proto-gospel theory

Matthew MarkLuke Multiple proto-gospel theory

Matthew Mark Luke Augustine of Hippo (d. 430) But why did Mk cut out so much of Mt?

Matthew Mark Luke J.J. Griesbach (1789) But if Mk is digest of material shared by Mt and Lk, why is there much material that they share that Mk omits?

Matthew Mark Luke J.J. Griesbach (1789) Also, why do Mt and Lk contradict each other? Why do they diverge in order of events when not matching Mk? Why does Lk omit material shared by Mt and Mk?

Matthew Mark Luke 4-Source Hypothesis Q (Quelle) LM

Pattern of Agreement 1. All three agreeing 2. All three differing 3. Two out of three agreeing: Mk and Mt or Mk and Lk, but very rarely Mt and Lk if story is also in Mk, suggesting that Mk is original source Arguments for the Priority of Mark

Sequence of Narrative Mt and Lk present Markan material in same order, but present shared material not found in Mk in different order. Suggests used Mk then plugged in other material where seemed appropriate. If Mt or Lk used each other, why would they change order of non-Markan material but keep Markan material in same order? Arguments for the Priority of Mark

Characteristics of the Changes Mt and Lk improving on Mk’s Greek Mk is shortest gospel; why cut out material? Not summary, because presents longer versions of stories found in Mt Arguments for the Priority of Mark

Q = Explanation for material shared by Mt and Lk but not in Mk Mostly sayings of Jesus, but also narratives of temptation (Mt 4: 1-11; Lk 4: 1-13) and healing of centurion’s servant (Mt 8: 5-10; Lk 7: 1-10) Probably written document, to explain long passages of shared wording. Possibly had different editions. Lk’s version as closest to original sequence?

M and L = Explanation for material only known to Mt (M) or Lk (L) Not known if one source each or many, or written or oral Synoptic problem important because if we know an author’s source, we can see how he modified it to suit own agenda, giving us insight into an author’s concerns
