Why are the synoptic gospels called synoptic?
A:The word synoptic means 'seen with the same eye'. The synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke not only agree moderately well on the story of Jesus, but when laid in parallel and viewed synoptically can be seen to have a close literary relationship. New Testament scholars have established that Mark was the first gospel to be written, and that Matthew and Luke were substantially based on it, with Matthew containing some 90 per cent of the verses in Mark, often in exactly the same words in the Greek language.AnswerOne of the meanings of the word "synoptic" is "taking the same point of view." Since the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke share a great deal of content and present a similar order of events (while John's gospel is quite different in style and content), the first three are called "synoptic."
Which one of the four gospels is not synoptic?
A:Among the New Testament gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke are known as synoptic ('seen with the same eye') gospels, because when laid sise by side in the original Greek language and seen with the same eye, it can be shown that two of these gospels must have been based on the third. The original of these gospels is now known to have been Mark's Gospel. On the other hand, when John's Gospel is laid alongside the others, its dependence is not immediately apparent. Because John was more loosely based on Luke and, to a lesser extent, Mark, there are few similarities in the text and even the storyline often differs. It is therefore not a synoptic gospel.The Gospel of John is not one of the "synoptic gospels"
