You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 100.26.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:31, 23 February 2027. Your current IP address is 100.26.112.81.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

| [[Matthew the Evangelist]] is said by the early 2nd century writer [[Papias of Hierapolis]] to have written a "Sayings of Jesus" in [[Aramaic language|Aramaic]]. The Gospel is not a sayings collection and shows clear signs of having been composed in [[Koine Greek|Greek]], but it is accepted by tradition as the document referred to by Papias. Dated c. AD 80-100.
| An anonymous author who borrowed from both [[Gospel of Mark|Mark]] and a source called [[Q document|Q]]
|- align="center"

| align="left"|'''[[Gospel of Mark|Gospel According to Mark]]'''<br>κατὰ Μᾶρκον εὐαγγέλιον ''kata Markon euangelion''
| [[Mark the Evangelist]], otherwise known as John Mark, a cousin of [[Barnabas]] the companion of [[Paul of Tarsus|Paul]] and later himself a companion of Paul. According to the 4th century writer [[Eusebius of Caesarea]], who claims to be quoting a lost work by the Papias of Hierapolis, Mark was asked to write his account by the Christians of Rome, and recorded the preaching of the apostle [[Saint Peter|Peter]]. (The First Epistle of Peter, dated around AD 100, mentions Mark as a companion of Peter). Usually dated no earlier than AD 70.
| An unknown author; likely an early Christian writer.

| align="left"|'''[[Gospel of Luke|Gospel According to Luke]]'''<br>κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγέλιον ''kata Loukan euangelion''
| [[Luke the Evangelist]], the companion and contemporary of Paul. The earliest representation of Luke as the author of this Gospel (and of Acts) comes from the [[Muratorian fragment]], a catalogue of the New Testament from c. AD 180. The Gospel itself is usually dated AD 70-100.

| align="left"|'''[[Gospel of John|Gospel According to John]]'''<br>κατὰ Ἰωάννην εὐαγγέλιον ''kata Iōannēn euangelion''
| [[John the Evangelist]]. The Church father [[Iranaeus]] reported c. AD 180 that the Evangelist was [[John the Apostle]], but there is no earlier record of the tradition that the two were identical. The first evidence of the existence of the Gospel dates from the mid-2nd century.
