The Gospels

A look at the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John show that the first three (Matthew, Mark and Luke) have many things in common.

Because of the similarity in arrangement, content and wording of these three gospels they are referred to as the synoptic gospels. Synoptic simply means 'a seeing together'.

While the synoptic gospels focus on what Jesus did and said, the gospel of John puts more attention on who Jesus is. The gospel of John also includes more stories about individuals.

It is important to remember that you will have to read all the gospels to get the complete picture of Jesus as the Holy Spirit has chosen to reveal Him to us.
