Which Gospel was written first: Matthew or Mark?

In this fascinating MythVision debate, Jonathan Sheffield and New Testament scholar Mark Goodacre go head-to-head on one of the most important questions in biblical scholarship: the order of the Gospels.

Did the Apostle Matthew write the first Gospel as church tradition claims? Or was the Gospel of Mark the earliest account, serving as a source for Matthew and Luke?

The discussion explores:

✔ Matthew Priority
✔ Markan Priority
✔ The Synoptic Problem
✔ Early Church Fathers
✔ Papias, Irenaeus, Origen, and Eusebius
✔ Eyewitness Testimony
✔ Literary Dependence
✔ Historical Methodology
✔ Gospel Origins
✔ New Testament Reliability

Goodacre argues that Matthew appears to be revising and expanding Mark, while Sheffield defends the traditional view that Matthew was written first and preserved by the early church.

Whether you're interested in biblical studies, Christian apologetics, church history, or historical Jesus research, this debate offers a deep dive into one of the most controversial issues in New Testament scholarship.

Watch until the end and decide for yourself:

Was Matthew written first—or was Mark the original Gospel?
