What are the synoptic gospels?

[Edit]

The Synoptic Gospels are Matthew, Mark and Luke. They are called synoptic because they are intriguingly similar and intriguingly different.

The most common theory is that Mark is the oldest of these, and Matthew and Luke in various ways used Mark along with other material to create their individual narratives.
