Close similarities in wording among the three synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) indicates an actual literary relationship, the explanation for which is known as the "synoptic problem". It has long been recognised that the authors of Matthew and Luke relied on the Gospel of Mark for their knowledge of the life and mission of Jesus. A second hypothetical source, known as the Q document provided Matthew and Luke with a number of sayings common to both, but absent from Mark. However, there is much material in Matthew that is unique to Matthew and material in Luke that is unique to Luke.

In 1924, Burnett Hillman Streeter proposed a four source documentary hypothesis. In addition to Mark and Q, he said that Matthew contains material from a further source he called the 'M' document, and Luke contains material from a further source he called the 'L' document. The author of Matthew knew nothing about L, and the author of Luke knew nothing about M. This hypothesis, although it has some problems, avoids the criticism that the two evangelists filled in their gospels with literary inventions.

What is the P source in Scripture?

A number of scholars believe that at least some books of the Old Testament have several authors (or sources). One of these sources is called "P." P is an individual or group of individuals who were associated with the priesthood. Thus, the title, "P." The affected biblical books were then supposedly put together by an editor, called a redactor, using the material written by P and other sources. Other scholars dispute the existence of P for at least two reasons: 1) There is no documentary evidence of any writing produced by P. 2) No two scholars seem to agree on exactly what parts of the Old Testament may have been written by P.
