1. Matthew and Luke’s birth narratives have many obvious differences when you first read them.

Between these two accounts they are still portraying two different point of views. If we were to try and put the birth of John from Luke’s account in Matthews account it wouldn 't really change the story that much, but it would affect the entire format of Matthews gospel.…
