The verses below show that to be the opposite of what the text says. The one from from the Gospel of John can be argued to mean John the Baptist rather John the Apostle. The names of the other three Gospels are most likely the names of the Scribes who copied the original documents as that would have been a task Paul would have done at every stop he made along the way of his various travels.
We can determine that Peter, James and his brother John are the writers of those Gospels as all 3 are said to be the only witnesses to the vision on the mountain and the resurrection of the little girl that Jesus said was 'sleeping'.
The Apostles were not at the cross but they each contain references to that event. Mary M. would have been the one that updated Peter and the mother of James and John would have updated them. That leave Mary of Bethany as the one that was the witness to the cross in the Gospel of John. She says flat out what she wrote was through the eyes of an witness.
Joh:21:24:
This is the disciple which testifieth of these things,
and wrote these things:
and we know that his testimony is true.
Joh:21:25:
And there are also many other things which Jesus did,
the which,
if they should be written every one,
I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.
Amen.
1Jo:1:1-3:
That which was from the beginning,
which we have heard,
which we have seen with our eyes,
which we have looked upon,
and our hands have handled,
of the Word of life;
(For the life was manifested,
and we have seen it,
and bear witness,
and shew unto you that eternal life,
which was with the Father,
and was manifested unto us
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you,
that ye also may have fellowship with us:
and truly our fellowship is with the Father,
and with his Son Jesus Christ.
In other words a best guess. Would that be the earliest surviving copy? Luke:21:12-24 are the experiences of the Apostles when they are in Jerusalem after the stoning of Stephen (before Acts:10 which is 3 1/2 years after the cross in 30AD) That would be the first time prophecy was given in hindsight. James:1:1 mentions a scattering as being a past event.
The only qualifier is that Jesus be glorified and the Scribes be baptized with the Holy Spirit. Both were completed the first night after His resurrection. The next 40 days would have been the Apostles (and BD) go through the same 40 day fast that Jesus went through after His baptism in the River Jordan by John the Baptist. The language issue was solved just a few days after the cross so Saul could have been reading them when he was struck blind. Over the next few days Christ informed Saul about what was in all the Gospels so he was able to pass the test that was given to him before the blindness was lifted.
According to the book James and John were brothers, why not stick with the version that has them be the witnesses to those two events and give Peter the biggest book as he was the Chief Apostle, one step below of how important the Beloved Disciple is to Jesus.
The same can be applied to the OT Scribes as well, they were living witnesses rather than being a teller of tall stories.
Actually Paul went to the Synagogues first so the copying of the Gospels in Greek was their task. That it was preaching to the Gentiles is because it is the Gentile Nations that come under fierce judgment when the return happens. Peter preached to Gentiles in Acts:10 and that is before Paul was preaching good things about Christ. Peter and the other Apostles that stayed in Jerusalem until 70AD would have been preaching the same message that Paul was. They did not start preaching to Gentiles directly until after the scattering in James:1:1. Revelation is the last of the message from God and it is to the people Paul was forbidden to teach to as his assignment was to head for Rome itself. The Book of Romans is the 'contract' between Christ and the ones He leaves the sword of protection from evil with. Misuse comes with the appropriate punishment.
They certainly has stories to the extent temples were built. That would fit in with who the sons of God from Ge:6 were as they were immortals who would have witnessed all the creation days which is 4B years and counting. The Bible promotes they had the run of the earth except for the Garden area defined in Ge:2. That version of creation starts out with Adam and God alone with a barren piece of land in front of them. Put that at 400,000BC and over the next 360,000 years the garden becomes what it was at the end of the 6th day. Adam and Eve would have had the garden alone from 40,000BC to 4,000BC and the sin would have been about the last day of that time period.
Fallen angels were not put into the Pit until the time of the flood back to the end of day 1. Their differences in abilities starts with them being immortal and falls short of mankind in that they do not have the emotions that go along with being a parent and a shepherd or other flesh. They are master craftsmen as far as stone and metal goes. The link below is to a series of vids of all the ancient places that can still be found. So far there is not rational scientific explanation.
Angels from Jude:1 would qualify and the 4 fallen ones from the 6th trump actually gives you a number to play with as well as the size. We would call it 200M horsepower in the form of 200M workhorses and a strong men.
How long to move 200M stones for monuments in Egypt?
How long to keep a fire going in the Sphinx enclosure in an attempt to destroy it entirely??
There was also a resurrection from the grave in the OT, Job:14 is confirmed by what Martha says about her dead brother in John:11. The resurrection in the Gospels takes all 4 accounts to be included before the picture is 'clear'.
The cross only has women at it, Peter is the first Apostle to be involved and that is the morning of His resurrection and they are leaving Jerusalem after the Passover Sabbath and then the weekly Sabbath is finished. With him is Mary from Bethany who would be escorting Mary the mother of Jesus and the other women there. Mary M. runs ahead and sees the empty tomb and runs back and tells the main group at which point the Beloved Disciple outruns Peter to get to the tomb and then she waits for Peter to catch up and that scene unfolds with the main group departing and Jesus in resurrected but not glorified form and Mary M. had their little chat. Mary M would have relayed that message to the others and the Beloved Disciple attended but Mary M. did not. She would have been at the Acts:2 event however.
Jesus would have ascended to the temple in re:4 and been glorified by God and been back on earth to walk with a few Apostles that afternoon and then that evening He baptized 11 Apostles and the Beloved Disciple.
That hits all the highlights I hope.
lol, . . . .other than that it's bang on though? Hope that bit just above helps show what my version looks like.
A similar thing happens with the vision on the mountain, you need them all to get the best picture. One version has the time of the secret starting and the other has the time it ends, apart they are confusing compared to what they present when combined (in a certain way)
What was taught at one location was written down and circulated to all the locations of any teaching.
Lazarus the Beggar is asleep in death. Martha expected her brother to be raised from the literal grave on the 'last day' and the smell being mentioned is to reinforce that the person had been dead a number of days.
That version also supports the resurrection in Eze:37 as being a literal one that includes the people mentioned.
Saul was the first, he was a long way from being the only one that was baptized with that spirit. It does show how easy it is for a person to be converted. The two witnesses would be the next ones in line for that level of a relationship with Jesus.
Sounds like Saul saw Him before his conversion pf 'born out of due time' means before he was gathered.
Sounds more like the person who wrote the words about Mount Sion in Hebrews:12.
