Do you mean the four Gospels?

Each was written by an eyewitness, each discussing similar or even the same parts of Jesus's life, ministry and death.

Each comes to the same conclusion: He was and is the Messiah, God in the Flesh and the Savior.

They are "bibles" they are "gospels". A Bible is a book that contains not only the Gospels of the four evangelists, but the Old Testament, the Acts of the Apostles, the Letters of Peter and Paul and the Book of Revelations.
The four "Gospels" (which means "good news") are the four stories written about Jesus and his ministry. These are told from different prespectives and were written at different times. It is believed tha the Gospel of Matthew is the oldest, then Mark, then Luke, then John. If you read them sequencially, you will see Jesus evolve from a good man and powerful teacher/speaker to a worker of miracles to a powerful god...

If you mean why are there 4 different gospel accounts in the New Testament then there are a couple of reasons for that.

Ezekiel 1:4 As I looked, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, and a great cloud, with brightness around it, and fire flashing forth continually, and in the midst of the fire, as it were gleaming metal. 5 And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had a human likeness, 6 but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings. 7 Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf's foot. And they sparkled like burnished bronze. 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus: 9 their wings touched one another. Each one of them went straight forward, without turning as they went. 10 As for the likeness of their faces, each had a human face. The four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle.

The first gospel account presents Jesus as the Lion of Judah, the King of the Jews. The second account presents Jesus as the faithful servant like an ox. The third account presents Jesus as a divine human being. The fourth account presents Jesus as God who came to earth and put on flesh.

In addition to those theological reasons the different accounts were written to different audiences. Matthew was written to the Jews who were looking for the Messiah King. Mark was written to people of Rome in language that they could understand. It doesn't have all of the Scripture references and it explains the Jewish customs. Mark is an action account that the Romans could relate to. Luke was written to the people of Greece who looked for perfection in humanity. Their goal was a perfect mind in a perfect body. The gospel of John was written later on when gnostic heresies were going about claiming that Jesus was only a spirit and not a real man.

Do you mean Gospels? There is one Bible(and many translations)...that is the whole book...there are 4 Gospels...Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John which are also called books of the Bible...How about a rephrase and re-ask the question again correctly.

If I save in ideas perfect the impaling on a tree became created by the persians first. such as Haman contained in the account in Esther became impaled both on a tree or a stake. even as the Romans followed it later there have been some differences Like a bypass piece .......or perhaps an x formed one ..which became truly a lot less utilized.
