Episode 127

In Part 2 of our series on the Synoptic Problem, Zach presents the case for Markan priority—the view that Mark was the first Gospel written. We explore the literary, linguistic, and structural reasons many scholars believe Matthew and Luke used Mark as a source. The discussion also dives into the proposed existence of “Q,” a hypothetical sayings source that may explain the shared material between Matthew and Luke not found in Mark. How do these theories shape our understanding of the Gospel narratives—and why does it matter? Join us as we examine this influential view and continue our journey through the origins of the Gospels.
