Editing Synoptic Gospels

The [[gospel]]s of [[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]], [[Gospel of Mark|Mark]], and [[Gospel of Luke|Luke]] are referred to as the '''synoptic Gospels''' because they include many of the same stories, often in a similar sequence and in similar or sometimes identical wording. They stand in contrast to [[Gospel of John|John]], whose content is largely distinct. The term ''synoptic'' ([[Latin]]: ''synopticus''; Greek: συνοπτικός, romanized: ''synoptikós'') comes via Latin from the [[Greek]] σύνοψις, ''synopsis'', i.e. "(a) seeing all together, synopsis". The modern sense of the word in English is of "giving an account of the events from the same point of view or under the same general aspect". It is in this sense that it is applied to the synoptic gospels.
