1. The oral tradition theory. Some have concluded that the basic sources for the Gospels came from oral tradition, an oral testimony that developed around Jesus the Messiah. Normally such a testimony involved four steps: (1) The event occurred. (2) The event was told and repeated often enough so that it became widely known. (3) The event became fixed so that it was then told exactly the same way. (4) The event was written down in an account. This view accounts for similarities in the stories but it fails to account for the differences. Furthermore, why would an eyewitness of the events limit himself to stories from oral tradition
2. THE “Q” theory. A popular view today is that the biblical editors made use of various written sources to compile their accounts. This viewpoint usually posits the following: (1) The first written account was the Gospel of Mark. A major reason for this position is that only 7 percent of the Gospel of Mark is unique, as 93 percent of Mark can be found in Matthew and Luke. (2) In addition to Mark a second written document existed which basically contained discourse material. This document is known as “Q”, an abbreviated form of the German word for source, Quelle. The approximately 200 verses common to Matthew and Luke which are not found in Mark must have come from “Q”. (3) The editors used at least two other sources. One source reflects verses in Matthew not found in either Mark or Luke, and the other source reflects verses in Luke not found in either Matthew or Mark. This theory with its lines of dependence could be charted in this way:
