Everything we know about the life and teachings of Jesus comes from the four gospels. It was long thought, because there are four gospels, that they confirm and reinforce each other. However, New Testament scholars have established that Mark's Gospel was used as a source by the authors of Matthew and Luke(directly) and John (indirectly). Thus, we really only have one original gospel source for the life and teachings of Jesus.
Mark's Gospel, like the other New Testament gospels, was originally anonymous, so we do not know who really wrote this book, or where he obtained his material about Jesus. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament ) says that Mark seems to depend on traditions (and perhaps already shaped sources) received in Greek.
