Jesus Ministry Timeline

Christians – I have a question regarding…?

…Acts 5, where Luke writes of the Pharisee Gamaliel’s speech (vv. 34-39)…. This speech would have taken place around AD 35-40, yet it refers to Theudas’ revolt of AD 46-47 as a past event. Furthermore, Gamaliel is made to say that “Judas the Galilean” raised a revolt which followed that of Theudas – but Judas’ revolt was in AD 6 or 7! We know these dates from Josephus, most notably, as well as from other records.

In addition, what are we to do with the wide variation of chronologies in the Gospels, different placements of pericopes in the timeline of Jesus’ ministry (i.e the healing of the paralytic in Mk. 2), and the substantial disagreement of John with the other three, in terms of historical outline?

Thanks!

Please note first of all, such issues have been raised for centuries by serious and devote Christians. This is not a convenient form to answer your question. Your question about the Gospels can be answered by looking into a harmony of the gospels text. The question on Acts could be answered in a commentary on Acts. Reference books of this kind can be viewed at your public library or local Seminary or College library.
