The '''Q Gospel''' (or "Q Source") is a never-discovered document that some feel was the source for material included in both the [[Gospel of Matthew]] and the [[Gospel of Luke]], but is absent from the [[Gospel of Mark]].

The '''Q Gospel''' (or "Q Source") is a never-discovered document that some feel was the source for material included in both the [[Gospel of Matthew]] and the [[Gospel of Luke]], but is absent from the [[Gospel of Mark]].  The first suggestion of this was not until 1801,<ref>https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Q_Document</ref> and no early church writers indicate the existence of a Q Gospel.

 

[[Luke]] said he used eyewitness accounts to prepare the [[Gospel of Luke]], at {{bibleref|Luke|1|1-2}}, and the most plausible implication is that he used the [[Gospel of Mark]] and the [[Gospel of Matthew]].  An additional Q Gospel becomes unnecessary and would add nothing.

Advocates for an existence of a Q Gospel tend to be deniers of the inspired nature of [[the Gospels]], and tend to argue that the Gospels were written later (after A.D. 70) rather than earlier (before A.D. 65).<ref>https://www.gotquestions.org/Q-Gospel.html</ref>
