Synoptic Gospels
The first three gospels appearing in the New Testament books of Matthew, Mark and Luke.
Although they differ in some details, there’s a great deal of overlap.
Most scholars believe that Mark is the oldest gospel, possibly written around 30 CE. Its form and content is simpler than Matthew and Luke.
Some hypothesize the existence of an undiscovered document called “Q” which would account for the commonalities in Matthew and Luke but not in Mark.
According to this view, the writers of Matthew and Luke drew upon both Mark and Q to further embellish Mark. As of yet, however, no actual Q document has been found so it remains a convenient scholarly fable.
