Hmm, I recommend a parallel gospel, yet there is not any longer something rather sturdy on-line that i got here upon. Mark is shortest, in many circumstances agreed to be first. Matthew is Mark, revised and greater, and additionally includes some cloth from a misplaced source observed as Q. Matthew has some diffused theological transformations as nicely. Luke is an entire rewrite however the author curiously had the two Mark and Q to artwork with. the two Matthew and Luke curiously had self reliant materials as nicely Mark and Q. Q is reconstructed with the help of taking each and every thing Matthew shares with Luke yet no longer Mark, and it seems to be a e book of clever sayings. John is thoroughly distinctive from the different 3, and looks to have began with a e book of Jesus' miracles, and then rewritten with the help of somebody who had an exceedingly distinctive theology than the different 3.

I'll give you a start - but - then do your own research.
Matthew and John were Apostles - two of the Twelve.
Luke and Mark were not numbered amongst the Twelve. They were Evangelists and Disciples, but not Apostles in the true sense of the word.
Matthew wrote to a Jewish Audience. Luke's target was the Greek speaking world.
Mark's was the first Gospel written and is the shortest.
Matthew, Mark and Luke are the Synoptic Gospels. The tell the story of Jesus.
John streeses the Incarnation and the Deity of Christ.

Check out the Gospel Parallels. It compares all but John, because it's in a league of its own. (by Burton H. Throckmorton)
Just do a little research, it sounds like you want an easy A. No Religion or Bible class will be an easy A.

Matthew is written to a Jewish audience and portrays Yeshua as the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
Mark is written to the Greeks and portrays Jesus as the suffering servant, as seen in an Ox.
Luke is written to the Romans and portrays Jesus as a man or human being.
John is written to the church and displays Jesus' deity as seen within the identification of a flying eagle.
Each of these "faces", the lion, the ox, a man, and the eagle is prophetically seen on the visions of Cherubim.

Matthew - lays great stress on the Old Testament passages which show that Jesus was the Messiah (Christ), the long awaited King of Israel.
Mark - Jesus actions, rather than His words, are given the most attention, particularly the miracles He performed which demonstrated His divinity.
Luke - Shows the humanity of Christ.
John - To prove that Jesus is indeed the Son of God.

The authors wrote it from a different perspective. For example, Luke was a doctor, so he wrote it from that standpoint and he went into more detail in some areas than the others did. They all tell basically the same story with some different wording based on how they saw/heard the story unfold.

They are basically all the same. Except they were written by different people with different backgrounds. For example Luke was a physician so his gospel was a little more detailed than the others.

They were written for different audiences. If I remember correctly Mark was written for a Roman audience and Luke was for the Greek, but I'm not entirely sure.
Still, hope that gets you started.

The primary differences are the audiences to which they were written and why they were written. Matthew was written to portray Jesus as the Messiah foretold by Old Testament Prophets, and was written to the Jews.
Mark was written to portray the Superhuman Power of Jesus and to demonstrate his deity. Mark was written to the Romans.
Luke was written to show the humanity of Jesus. Luke was written to the Greeks.
John was written to show that Jesus was God in human form, and to show the deity of Jesus. John was written for everyman.
