Removed the quote from Sayers which I uploaded some minutes ago.
=====Each Gospel gives a different perspective on specific events in Jesus' life=====
Each Gospel writer paints a picture of events in Jesus' life and so recounts the stories slightly differently giving a particular perspective thus enhancing our understanding of JesrsJesus
For example:
* The story account of Jesus walking on water ([[Mark 6]] and [[Matthew 14]])
** In [[Mark 6]], Mark comments that the disciples were amazed because they did not understand and their hearts were hardened
** Matthew only comments that the disciples were afraid
* The story record of children being brought to Jesus ([[Mark 10]], [[Matthew 19]], [[Luke 18]]
** In Mark, Jesus is indignant and upset at his disciples
** This indignation is not noted in Matthew or Luke

''Irenaeus Against Heresies,'' book 3: ch 1: para 1. Page 414 in ANF1, that is, [https://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/anf01 Roberts A, Donaldson J and Coxe AC (1885) ''Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol 1'', at Christian Classics Ethereal Library.] [c 185 AD.]: Matthew also issued a written Gospel among the Hebrews in their own dialect, while Peter and Paul were preaching at Rome, and laying the foundations of the Church. After their departure, Mark, the disciple and interpreter of Peter, did also hand down to us in writing what had been preached by Peter. Luke also, the companion of Paul, recorded in a book the Gospel preached by him. Afterwards, John, the disciple of the Lord, who also had leaned upon His breast, did himself publish a Gospel during his residence at Ephesus in Asia.

An article in the North American Review described him as "the honoured head of the most distinguished and prosperous school of English law in the world" (page v).''
* These copies of the Holy Scriptures ... it is quite erroneous to suppose that the Christian is bound to offer any further proof of their genuineness or authenticity. It is for the objector to show them spurious; for on him, by the plainest rules of law, lies the burden of proof. (Section 10, page 9.)
* [T]he Four Evangelists should be admitted in corroboration of each other, as readily as Josephus and Tacitus, or Polybius and Livy. (Section 28.)
