Mark is the first Gospel written, around 65. Luke (80s-90s) and Matthew (90s) are later. Acts is by the same author as Luke but written a bit later (90-100s). Hebrews is anywhere from the 60 to 100. James is probably 80s or 90s. John's gospel is usually dated to 80s or 90s, but rival view says could around 70.
11. "We all know that Mark is the earliest gospel ever written" -- this is simply conjecture based on the assumption that since it is the shortest it must have come first. The church fathers tended to believe Matthew was written first actually. – david brainerd. Apr 8, 2014 at 3:30.
2. When was the New Testament written, and by who? The NT is the collection of Christian scripture that was held by early Christians since the end of the 1st century, mainly the 4 Gospels and the messages. They are a Koine Greek literature work about Jesus of Nazareth.
11. It's pretty well-known that the Pauline epistles in modern copies of the New Testament are generally ordered according to length. 1 Of the epistles written to churches, Romans is longest and first, while 2 Thessalonians is shortest and last. Here's a table of the number of lines of Greek in the originals: 2. Romans 979 stichoi.
The Book of Revelation was written on the Greek island of Patmos and appears to be addressed to churches in Greek-speaking Asia Minor, so naturally it was written in Greek. Apart from the testimony of the Church Fathers, writing in the second century, there is no reliable evidence that any part of the New Testament was written in either Aramaic ...
The Synod of Hippo, in northern Africa, in 393, approved the New Testament, as it stands today, together with the Septuagint books, as did the Councils of Carthage in 397 and 419. St. Augustine regarded the scriptural canon as closed, as did Pope Damasus I and the Council of Rome in 382.
Chronologically, IF John’s gospel, letters and Revelation were written before A.D. 70 they would possibly have appeared around the same time as Paul wrote his letters. The chronological order of the New Testament would then look something like this (dates approximate): James – A.D. 45. Mark – A.D. 50. Paul - A.D. 50-70. Matthew – A.D. 55
The confusing part of this question is that there was no "New Testament" until after everything had been written. And so yes, by the time that the canonical list of New Testament books was compiled (a process that took about 400 years, although the individual books were composed within the first 70) was considered Scripture. Because they were ...
The books of both Matthew and Mark were written during the early church period and were probably mostly complete before the Apostles went separate ways. These books were written to basically the same audience, and during that time frame there was most likely a rehashing of the events over the three years of Jesus ministry.
You are mistaken about many things. All of the New Testament is written in Greek. A few people have suggested that Matthew's gospel (and maybe a couple of other books) were first written in Hebrew/Aramaic, but there is very little evidence for that. Even Romans was written in Greek; at that time Greek was the lingua franca, not Latin.
