Can We Trust the Gospels?
Yes—because they are rooted in truth, eyewitness accounts, and divine inspiration.

The Four Gospels
The Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—tell the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Matthew and John were Jesus’ disciples; Mark and Luke wrote based on careful research and close connections with early believers.
“That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you” (1 John 1:3).
These were written shortly after Jesus' ministry and align with archaeological and historical facts.

Thousands of Manuscripts
Over 25,000 handwritten New Testament copies survive.
Even with minor variations (like word order or spelling), none affect the core message.
“The word of the Lord endureth for ever” (1 Peter 1:25).

Different Gospels, Same Message
Each Gospel was written to a different audience, with a different emphasis:

Matthew: Jesus is the promised Messiah (Matthew 1:1).

Mark: Jesus came to serve and save (Mark 10:45).

Luke: Jesus lived a sinless life to save all people (Luke 19:10).

John: Jesus is the Son of God; believe and live (John 20:31).

Their differences strengthen their credibility—these are not rehearsed or manipulated accounts, but real testimonies.

Eyewitnesses and Oral Tradition
Thousands witnessed Jesus’ miracles (like feeding 5,000—John 6:10-13), and these truths were passed on faithfully.
“We cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard” (Acts 4:20).

The Bible Is God’s Word
God used human authors but inspired every word:
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16).

Don’t reject the Bible without reading it. Even one paragraph can change your life.
“Search the scriptures… they are they which testify of me” (John 5:39).
