The verses on the four Gospels about the resurrection of Jesus Christ are of the same meaning and it deals with the same subject and purpose. It is only on what you have understood but if you allow yourself to read and read it for many times until you can understand those verses, no doubt you come to know the meaning of those verses which are the same.
If you are still doubting , feel free to sight the verse which you said different from other verses. Maybe it is different in the expression of the words but it means the same.

They are 4 different perspectives on the same event. All four place Mary Magdalene and another Mary at the scene and the Apostles didn't believe her story so they had to check on it themselves. Unless Mary wrote Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the story of the ressurection and the appearance of Jesus is second hand info. If you take all four stories and put them together there is no contradiction.

Ok, there is an explosion in the city and four people are there, all give an account of the story in the local news paper.There are discrepancies, but all were eye witnesses, how could this be? People see and remember a bit differently, the main facts are the same, but the details differ somewhat..

Nothing is different in the stories. They all tell about Jesus Christ rising from the dead, but they are being told from 4 different points of view.

Because the Gospels are Fiction, it is as simple as that. If it was Non-Fiction, then the narration by the so called "God Inspired" authors, Mark, Matthew, John and Luke will be the same. But, the fact that is is not to be is another Truth that the Bible is nothing but a Corrupted Fiction.

4 different views-all good news.
This is not uncommon. Some saw things that others did not. Each gospel writer was also writing to a different audience, Matthew was writing to Jews, where John was writing to intellectuals.
Imagine that you and 3 of your friends witnesses a bank robbery. Everyone of you would have different details of the same story. The fact that the details would be from differing points of view would not invalidate your testimony.

Next time 4 of your friends go a concert or sporting event ask each of them separately what happened. I think you will then understand how an event can be perceived differently depending on the person. I can tell you now that no 2 stories will be exactly the same.

Two thousand years ago, four people wrote their own interpetation of events they didn't witness in one language, it was then translated into other languages and then reissued in subsequent versions... so how can anyone take it literally? A guy once wandered in the desert for 40-days and thought of a good way to live his life. Follow the path, not the myth. Think for yourself.

As others have stated, it comes from four different viewpoints.
Like when you and your friends get together. You all witness the same thing at the same time that has left an impression on your hearts. You write about it, as they write what they saw. Get them altogether and you will have different writings on the same experience.

Probably because you had four different people writing at four different times and all of them were either embroidering or making it all up. They weren't writing in the same room or anything, so they could, you know, get their stories straight.
