Comparing The Gospels Of Mark And Luke

Matthew Mark and Luke are the first three gospels, and when they are compared it is evident that happenings in each book are similar. These three books are referred to as “Synoptic Gospels” for this reason. To understand, we must know that basically the word means “to come together with a common view.”
It has been argued that the three gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke are much alike that they use each other’s Gospels and other common views or sources. Because these books have so much similarity they have been given the title of “Q” from the German word quelle, which means source. There is no evidence of the “Q” documents however.
The Synoptic Problem is not ultimately a big problem as some may make it out to be. There is an explanation

as to why these Gospels are so much alike in similarities, is case they are all inspired by the same Holy Spirit and are written by people who witnessed or were told about the events. The Gospel of Matthew was written by Matthew the apostle, one of the twelve who followed Jesus and were commissioned by Him. Then there is the Gospel of mark which was written by John Mark, associate of Peter, and one of the twelve.
. Luke’s Gospel then was written by Luke. Who was a close associate of the apostle Paul. Each Gospel is ultimately inspired by the Holy Spirit. So we should expect unity in these three Gospels. (Explore the Bible with Confidence)
Each writer of these Gospels wrote about encounters that they had themselves or were instructed to write by those that were actually there when each account accured.
