If Luke was correct mark must of been wrong ?
Below we have two accounts from the same event, however they differ in the order of chronology :
------------------
Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law and later John the Baptist was arrested
(Mark 1:29-31) (Mark 6:17-18)
while in Luke we find the opposite ??
John the Baptist was arrested and later Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law
(Luke 3:19-20) (Luke 4:38-39)
-------------------------
How do u rectify this problem, its the same event but in opposite order. now here's where the problem GROWS EVEN BIGGER, Luke tells us he has an accurate account of what happened during the Ministry of Jesus ?
Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled[a] among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, (Luke 1:1-3)
------------
Note from the above passage from Luke how he states MANY HAVE UNDERTAKEN TO DRAW UP AN ACCOUNT? Who are all those Many, when Mark and Matthew are his only predecessors according to the Cannon, Also notice how he HAS AN ORDERLY ACCOUNT OF THE EVENTS? Which means Marks order was WRONG and thats according to Luke if not how do u rectify this Discrepency
Who are those Many, when Mark was the only one who apparently wrote before him? Unless there were many more if so where are their writings?
