{{overview}}The Synoptic Gospels is a term used by modern [[New Testament]] scholars for the Gospels according to [[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]], [[Gospel of Mark|Mark]], and [[Gospel of Luke|Luke]]]. They are three of the four gospels, of which the [[Gospel of John]] is not included due to his different style and approach to the subject matter. The synoptic gospels often recount the same stories about [[Jesus]], though sometimes with different details and lengths, but mostly following the same sequence and to a large extent using the same words.
{{topics}}* The term synoptic is derived from a combination of the [[Gospel of MatthewGreek]]* words [[Gospel of Markσυν]]* (syn = together) and [[Gospel of Lukeοψις]](opsis = seeing) to indicate that the contents of these three Gospels can be viewed side-by-side, whether in a vertical parallel column synopsis, or a horizontal synoptic alignment.
