what are the synoptic gospel and what is unique about each one?

Answer 1

In a nutshell:

Matthew: more Jewish background, focuses on Jesus as new Moses.
Mark: more action, less talk
Luke: written for a gentile audience

Answer 2

The Synoptic Gospels are Matthew, Mark, and Luke. They are called this because they are similar (John is very different from these three). Scholars believe that when Matthew and Luke wrote their gospels, they based them on Mark (which was written first) and an unknown gospel known as "Q" (from the German "Quellen", meaning "source"). They also had their own material, labeled "M" and "L". This secondary material is not necessarily written gospels.

The Q Gospel would have been a sayings gospel, similar to the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, but not Thomas itself.

Mark is more about what Jesus did and less about teaching (parables, etc.). Matthew was directed to the Jews; Luke was directed to the Gentiles.

Answer 3

The gospel of Matthew, Mark and Luke are called synoptic which comes from the Greek word synoptikos which means to "see the whole together, to take a comprehensive view". They present similar views of the career and teaching of Christ and resemble each other closely in content and phraseology. What makes them different from each other is the emphasis and organisation.
For example, the gospel of Matthew which was written for Jewish converts implies that Jesus is the new Moses as prophesied in the Old Testament.
The idea of a gospel is well-stated in John's gospel. "Jesus performed many other signs not recorded here--in the presence of his disciples. But these have been recorded to help you believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, so that through this faith you may have life in his name" (John 20-30-31).
Have a blessed and peaceful day

Answer 4

The Synoptic Gospels are Mathew, Mark, and Luke. They call them Synoptic because they are much the same.The Gospel of John is much deeper, and richer. It is filled with much more mystery and poetry. Each of the Synoptic Gospels have just a slightly different way of saying the same thing. Luke though speaks of Mary and the early times. Mathew uses 9 additional proofs of Jesus being the Messiah though to drive home to the Jews who he is. Mark is a little more direct and to the point. He talks more of what Jesus did then what he said.

Answer 5

In limitless love and mercy God made Christ, who knew no sin, to be sin for us, so as that in Him we may be made the righteousness of God. Led through the Holy Spirit we experience our pick, well known our sinfulness, repent of our transgressions, and workout faith in Jesus as Lord and Christ, as replace and celebration. This faith which receives salvation comes via the divine skill of the note and is the present of God's grace. via Christ we are justified, followed as God's little children, and further from the lordship of sin. via the Spirit we are born again and sanctified; the Spirit renews our minds, writes God's regulation of love in our hearts, and we are given the skill to stay a holy existence. Abiding in Him we develop into partakers of the divine nature and performance the reassurance of salvation now and interior the judgment. (2 Cor. 5:17-21; John 3:16; Gal. a million:4; 4:4-7; Titus 3:3-7; John 16:8; Gal. 3:13, 14; a million Peter 2:21, 22; Rom. 10:17; Luke 17:5; Mark 9:23, 24; Eph. 2:5-10; Rom. 3:21-26; Col. a million:13, 14; Rom. 8:14-17; Gal. 3:26; John 3:3-8; a million Peter a million:23; Rom. 12:2; Heb. 8:7-12; Eze. 36:25-27; 2 Peter a million:3, 4; Rom. 8:a million-4; 5:6-10.) settle for Jesus as your saviour and be saved. Jesus is coming quickly.

Answer 6

Matthew, Mark, and Luke.
Matthew was written to the Jews.
Mark was written to the Romans, I believe(?)
Luke was written to Christians (gentiles)

John is too heavy to classify.
