The Synoptic Gospels are very similar in text but, speaks from their own perspectives.

have read the Gospels many times. I went to Sacred Heart Catholic School before St. Marys, and one of our assignment in 7 grade was to read each Gospel and answer a packet of questions.

I was putting parts from other Gospels into this Gospel in place were it wasn’t written. The most common Gospels I read are…

In the past the author of the gospel of John was credited to John.…

How is this possible? That whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:15, 16 Yeah, so? Well, here 's the thing: Believing leads to everlasting life. But only believing is not enough.
