GOSPEL WRITER: CHRISTMAS STORY IN THE BIBLE

Three weeks ago I asked the reader to tell me the name of the Gospel writer who presents to us the story of CHRISTMAS with Jesus, Mary and Joseph. The New Testament contains two Christmas stories:  Matthew 1:18-25 and Luke 2:1-7.  Of these two canonical Gospel narratives, only Luke offers the details of Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem. Some Scripture scholars believe that St. Luke interviewed Our Blessed Lady because of some of the details he includes in his Gospel. 
 
Thank you for participating in my Scripture adventure. We will do it again soon.
