Four different people will always give you four different points of view. Each wrote what they heard and saw and all four are different. This makes the Bible true, because in a court of law you often find that 4 different people can see something 4 different ways even though they are all seeing the same thing.

First, the 4 Gospels are not the Words of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, they are the Words of God the Father who is in heaven, and were given to Jesus by the Holy Ghost, and taught to the Gospel writters, therefore, the Gospel is the Word of God, not of men.

To make the Gospels true, there must be two witnesses, who can testify about the same event, and they must be in agreement.

John the Baptist was a witness sent by God the Father Himself to bare witness of Jesus Christ.

Many think that John the Apostle wrote the Gospel according to John, but he did not. It was written by John the Baptist, as was Revelation, also.

Many will also have you believe that some of the 4 writers altered there speach because some where talking to Jews, Greeks, Gentiles and Romans, The Word of God is the same in any language.

Many will have you think that the 4 Gospels and Revelation contradict themselves and the Old Testament, they do not any contradictions found in the Gospels are due to Jesus fulfilling the laws and sayings of the old testament concerning Himself. After Jesus spoke the Words, or performed the act as told he would by the prophets, they were fulfilled, then He would tell us the truth, or the real Words of God.

Easy. Mark was the first gospel written, and all the other 3 were written based off of his. Matthew was written next, so it resembles Mark the closest, followed by Luke which tells many of the same stories but with a different spin on it. John is the only one that tells different stories completely from the other 3 (which are known as the Syncretic Gospels [i.e. they "sync" up]) and tells a different story competely. Read them with the idea that they were not written at the same time, but one after the other in the order I've given, and you can see that they tell a narrative of early Christian thought. Mark wrote about the life of jesus, and in increasing amounts the next 3 Gospels involved more and more theological concerns, progressing more toward the advent of the Orthodox Roman Church (now known as the Roman Catholic Church).

Read your Bible. the three Gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, read about the same with Little differences, they tell about the world destruction, and the kingdom of God. John tells about the beginning, with God the Father and The Word, and when the word became Jesus Christ. It tells about John the Baptist (the for runner of Jesus Christ), and it gives son insight on thew life of Jesus Christ, and it tell you something about the Kingdom of God (No flesh and blood can enter the Kingdom of God) to enter the Kingdom you have to be born again of water and of the spirit. It also no one has ascented to Heaven. Jasus Christ is the only one who can baptize with the spirit, and while He was here, He did.nt baptize any one. this is all in John, annd much more.

Try looking at this site (http://unbound.biola.edu/), it will allow you to view each gospel in four Bible translations; side-by-side and with commentaries.

I have all the information you need but you have to email me t o send you as a word attachment

example : this in only one part of the information

Bible Book Number 40-Matthew ***
The book of Matthew, first of the four Gospels, truly provides an excellent bridge from the Hebrew Scriptures into the Christian Greek Scriptures. Unmistakably, it identifies the Messiah and King of God’s promised Kingdom, makes known the requirements for becoming his followers, and sets out the work that lies ahead for these on earth. First John the Baptizer, then Jesus, and finally his disciples went preaching, “The kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.” Moreover, Jesus’ command reaches right down to the conclusion of the system of things: “And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.” Truly it was, and still is, a grand and wonderful privilege to share in this Kingdom work, including ‘making disciples of people of all the nations,’ working after the pattern of the Master.—3:2; 4:17; 10:7; 24:14; 28:19.
30 Matthew’s Gospel is indeed “good news.” Its inspired message was “good news” to those who heeded it in the first century of the Common Era, and Jehovah God has seen to it that it has been preserved as “good news” until this day. Even non-Christians have been compelled to acknowledge the power of this Gospel, as, for example, the Hindu leader Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi, who is reported to have said to Lord Irwin, a former viceroy of India: “When your country and mine shall get together on the teachings laid down by Christ in this Sermon on the Mount, we shall have solved the problems not only of our countries but those of the whole world.” On another occasion Gandhi said: “By all means drink deep of the fountains that are given to you in the Sermon on the Mount . . . For the teaching of the Sermon was meant for each and every one of us.”
31 However, the whole world, including that part claiming to be Christian, continues with its problems. It has been left to a small minority of true Christians to treasure, study, and apply the Sermon on the Mount and all the other sound counsel of the good news according to Matthew and thereby derive inestimable benefits. It is profitable to study again and again Jesus’ fine admonitions on finding the real happiness, as well as on morals and marriage, the power of love, acceptable prayer, spiritual versus material values, seeking the Kingdom first, having respect for holy things, and being watchful and obedient. Matthew chapter 10 gives Jesus’ service instructions to those who take up preaching the good news of “the kingdom of the heavens.” The many parables of Jesus carry vital lessons for all who ‘have ears to hear.’ Moreover, Jesus’ prophecies, such as his detailed foretelling of ‘the sign of his presence,’ build strong hope and confidence in the future.—5:1–7:29; 10:5-42; 13:1-58; 18:1–20:16; 21:28–22:40; 24:3–25:46.
32 Matthew’s Gospel abounds with fulfilled prophecies. Many of his quotations from the inspired Hebrew Scriptures were for the purpose of showing these fulfillments. They provide indisputable evidence that Jesus is the Messiah, for it would have been utterly impossible to prearrange all these details. Compare, for example, Matthew 13:14, 15 with Isaiah 6:9, 10; Matthew 21:42 with Psalm 118:22, 23; and Matthew 26:31, 56 with Zechariah 13:7. Such fulfillments give us strong assurance, too, that all the prophetic forecasts of Jesus himself, recorded by Matthew, would in due course come true while Jehovah’s glorious purposes with regard to “the kingdom of the heavens” reach fruition.
33 How exact God was in foretelling the life of the King of the Kingdom, even to minute details! How exact was the inspired Matthew in faithfully recording the fulfillment of these prophecies! As they reflect on all the prophetic fulfillments and promises recorded in the book of Matthew, lovers of righteousness can indeed exult in the knowledge and hope of “the kingdom of the heavens” as Jehovah’s instrument for sanctifying his name. It is this Kingdom by Jesus Christ that brings untold blessings of life and happiness to the mild-tempered and spiritually hungry ones “in the re-creation, when the Son of man sits down upon his glorious throne.” (Matt. 19:28) All of this is contained in the stimulating good news “according to Matthew.”
