Book Mark
Is it true that Mark and Luke revised the book of Matthew?
If you are to examine the book of Luke and Mark, it will appear that the testimonies they had written was taken from the book of the eye witness Matthew. Further more, it seems that the two were out of Matthew's chronology.
Omar,
No. Mark and Luke did not revise what Matthew wrote, which then became the (unchanged) book of Matthew.
Remember, they were all three eyewitnesses, so their accounts will be similar yet with small differences that are easily accounted for. For instance, let's say you and I witness a car wreck. We go meet friends at a local cafe. In the ladies' room, I tell the woman that it was a dreadful 16-car pile up, children were screaming, one woman was walking around dazed. Meanwhile, back at the table, you're telling the man about the two cars involved in the head-on collision, how they were totalled, it was a miracle anyone was alive, the "jaws of life" were on the scene, etc.
Do our accounts contradict? Or do they enrich each other? They're both the same wreck, but with a focus on different elements, so they enrich each other.
Remember, the books of the New Testament are meant to get a point across. They were not intended to describe an event in detail - with the exception of Luke. Luke was a physician and had an eye for detail. He has also been called a first-class historian. But his detailed account was just that: a detailed account of what had happened and was happening at the time.
EDIT: I should mention that when you find issues that conflict with what has been taught for centuries and with the mass of evidence available, it's a fair bet that the "new" issue is one brought up by a so-called liberal scholar. These people are neither liberal nor scholars, for the most part. They have an agenda and set out to prove it, twisting the truth to suit their own ideas. This is not scholarship, it's nonsense.
If you want historically sound summaries of each book of the Bible, you'll find them in study Bibles. The good ones include the ESV Study Bible, the Reformation Study Bible, and the John MacArthur Study Bible. (Remember, the notes in a study Bible are only as good as the scholars who put them there.)
