Why does Mark not include the virgin birth?
Why does Mark not include the virgin birth?
Since most scholars believe Mark was the first Gospel written, why did it not include the virgin birth, but Matthew and Luke both do? He didnt know of it? It wasnt important to him?

I don't think it was unimportant to him. You must remember that all of these men wrote their own stories about Jesus separate and apart from the other. It would be as if four people you know saw something and later were asked to recall what they saw, most likely all four stories would be similar and all for would have some differences.quoting wrote:Since most scholars believe Mark was the first Gospel written, why did it not include the virgin birth, but Matthew and Luke both do?
