对观福音 - 维基百科,自由的百科全书

三卷符類福音內容的關係。幾乎所有《馬可福音》的內容都被發現在《馬太福音》及《路加福音》,但後二者的內容則有許多沒有在馬可福音中發現

符類福音(英語:Synoptic Gospels)又稱共觀福音同觀福音對觀福音等,為新約聖經前三卷書《馬太福音》、《馬可福音》和《路加福音》的合稱。這三本福音書的內容、敘事安排、語言和句子結構皆很相似,而它們又以近似的順序、措辭記述了許多相同的故事。使學者們認為它們有著相當的關聯。[1]

四福音書中的另一卷書《約翰福音》及其它被稱為偽典的福音書,與符類福音各方面皆有很大的差異。

對觀福音問題[编辑]

英文synoptic來自希臘語syn,意為「一起的」;而optic則為「觀察」之意。[2]馬太福音》、《馬可福音》和《路加福音》這三本福音書的內容、敘事安排、語言和句子結構皆很相似,而它們又以近似的順序、措辭記述了許多相同的故事。學者們認為它們有著相當的關聯,因此稱它們為對觀福音書。

  • 三重傳統(triple tradition):馬太福音、馬可福音和路加福音,三者之間共通的部份。
    • 主要相同(Major agreements):馬可福音中76%的內容,都出現在其他兩本福音書中。其中大部份的內容是完全相同,但是少部份在行文敍述上有做小部份修改。
    • 少數相同(Minor agreements):馬太福音路加福音在同一個段落,兩者的行文遣字是彼此相同的,但是馬可福音與他們二者的說法不同。
  • 雙重傳統(double tradition):馬太福音路加福音之間,大約有200行左右是相同的,但是在馬可福音中沒有這些內容。這些不同的內容,主要是有關於耶穌的談話與教導,大部份的登山寶訓與其他主要的談話都包括在內。

書寫順序[编辑]

因為其相同性,聖經學者持續辯論著符類福音三卷書被書寫的順序。現在有聖奧古斯丁假說雙源假說雙福音書假說四源假說法拉假說帕克假說六種說法。

傳統觀點[编辑]

聖奧古斯丁假說[编辑]

傳統上認為馬太福音是首先被書寫的、馬可福音第二、而路加福音則參考前二者及其他當事人的言語來書寫[3]。這個說法通常被稱為聖奧古斯丁假說[4][5]。不像其它的假說,這個假說不被後人引用、不被爭論、也幾乎沒有任何文獻提及。聖奧古斯丁的後裔認為是瞭解福音書的一種簡單的共識。然而,文字考證證明這是一個錯誤。因此學術界及大多數現代的研究通常都不再引用此種說法。

歷史考證觀點[编辑]

馬可福音優先[编辑]

這一個假說認為,《馬可福音》是對觀福音書中最早的,也是其他福音書的根據。這個學說起源於18世紀,被現代聖經學者廣為接受。

Q來源[编辑]

雙源假說[编辑]

雙源假說推測馬太福音在書寫時參考了馬可福音和另一本同觀語錄源,或稱Q來源。特別是發現了一本皆是語錄體的書卷:多馬福音,因而更支撐了這個假說[6]

四源假說[编辑]

雙源假說有個問題,就是它不能說明所有馬太福音和路加福音的疑點。在The Four Gospels: A Study of Origins (1924)一書中,斯特里特英语Burnett Hillman Streeter修改了雙源假說並提出四源假說。此說解釋了雙源假說未能交代完善之處,並 假設馬太及路加福音書有四個來源。包括一個現存來源:馬可福音;及三個未知來源:Q來源、M來源和L[7] [8]

其他假說[编辑]

雙福音書假說[编辑]

雙福音書假說又稱格里斯巴奇假說。此假說認為使徒馬太在公元40年左右首先書寫馬太福音,那時基督教只在猶太地區傳播。後來教會向外擴張,使徒路加在約公元50年時書寫路加福音來向外邦人傳福音。但由於路加和他的同伴保羅沒有親眼看過耶穌基督,因此引用了聖彼得的言論來描述耶穌的事跡。這些言論先被馬可紀錄為馬可福音,然後寄送給早期教會的領導者愛任紐。這個假說以馬可的低曝光率認為馬可福音不是正統的福音書。後來保羅讓路加福音出版[4]。這個假說,與雙源假說相比,有個優勢[4][5],因為它所倚靠的都是本身的內部證據,而不需要外部假設如Q來源等。

法拉假說[编辑]

法拉假說認為馬可福音首先寫成,第二是馬太福音,最後則是路加福音。法拉假說的立場很簡單,它沒有假設其它來源。它直接認為馬可福音是馬太福音的來源,而後路加參考這兩本書書寫了路加福音[9][10]

帕克假說[编辑]

皮爾遜·帕克在1953年認為馬太福音是其它福音書的基礎。

爭議[编辑]

雖然許多學者對福音書傳統上認為的撰寫年代有所爭議(在西元40年代到60年代之間),多數人認為對觀福音書的年代介於《羅馬書》和《約翰福音》之間(即西元60年至115年間)[11]。這項假說由於以推論為基礎的論證而尚未獲得共識(也就是說「保羅並未提到福音書,所以福音書一定是在《羅馬書》以後寫的」)。至於每本書的具體撰寫日期,這主要得看特定解釋福音書文字關係的假說。

主要福音書比較表[编辑]

本比較表[12]是來自B. H. Throckmorton所著的《福音之相似處(Gospel Parallels)》、R. W. Funk所著之《五福音(The Five Gospels)》、E. B. Nicholson所著之《希伯來人的福音(The Gospel According to the Hebrews)》 以及J. R. Edwards所著的《希伯來福音與對觀福音傳統之發展(The Hebrew Gospel and the Development of the Synoptic Tradition)》

Let us go and be baptized by him.’ But Jesus said to them, ‘in what way have I sinned that I should go and be baptized by him? Unless perhaps, what I have just said is a sin of ignorance.’”And in the same volume,“‘If your brother sins against you in word, and makes amends, forgive him seven times a day.’ Simon, His disciple, said to Him, ‘Seven times in a day!’ The Lord answered and said to him, ‘I say to you, Seventy times seven.’”Jerome, Against Pelagius 3.2

And the Lord said,“How can you say, I have fulfilled the Law and the Prophets, when it is written in the Law: You shall love your neighbor as yourself and many of your brothers, sons of Abraham, are covered with filth, dying of hunger, and your house is full of many good things, none of which goes out to them?”And he turned and said to Simon, his disciple, who was sitting by Him,“Simon, son of Jonah, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for the rich to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. ”Origen, Commentary on Matthew 15:14
