| The '''synoptic gospels''' are three gospels in the [[New Testament]] the [[Gospel of Matthew]], the [[Gospel of Mark]], and the [[Gospel of Luke]], that display a high degree of similarity in [[content]], [[narrative]] arrangement, [[language]], and sentence and paragraph [[structure]]s. These gospels are also considered by Biblical scholars to share the same point of view. The fourth canonical Gospel, [[Gospel of John|John]], differs greatly from these three, as do the [[Apocryphal gospels]]. The synoptic gospels are the first three books of the canonical New Testament. The "synoptic problem" concerns the nature and origin of the literary relationship between these three accounts. | | The '''synoptic gospels''' are three gospels in the [[New Testament]] the [[Gospel of Matthew]], the [[Gospel of Mark]], and the [[Gospel of Luke]], that display a high degree of similarity in [[content]], [[narrative]] arrangement, [[language]], and sentence and paragraph [[structure]]s.

| Scholars generally date the [[synoptic]] gospels as having been written after the epistles of [[Paul the Apostle|Paul]] and before the gospel according to John, thus between 60 and 115 AD. As to the specific dates for each [[book]], this largely depends on (or supports) the particular [[hypothesis]] used to account for the books' [[text]]ual relationship. | | Scholars generally date the [[synoptic]] gospels as having been written after the epistles of [[Paul the Apostle|Paul]] and before the gospel according to John, thus between 60 and 115 AD.
