Is the Q source the origin of the Gospels?


Scholars have speculated that two of the gospels share a source. Is the Q source the origin of the Gospels?

The Q source hypothesis is a prominent theory in New Testament scholarship that seeks to explain the literary relationship between the synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. The parallels unique to Matthew and Luke gave rise to the theory that these gospel authors made use of a second source for their material, resulting in the equivalencies in their work. Scholars also regularly investigate parallels with other Early Christian sources such as the Didache, the Gospel of Thomas, and similar works that contain sayings of Jesus.
