Lukan priority

Lukan priority refers to the idea that the Gospel of Luke was written before the Gospel of Mark. Scholars believe Luke’s account was composed earlier, and Mark’s Gospel was created later, possibly using Luke as a source or reference. This concept helps us understand the order in which the stories about Jesus were written down and how the Gospels relate to each other historically. Recognizing Lukan priority provides insight into the development of early Christian writings and their relationships, emphasizing that the Gospel of Luke likely contains earlier traditions and details about Jesus’ life.
