the four gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) all tell about the same things, except from different perspectives. For example, Matthew was in depth, so in his book he wrote more about genealogy (this man was the son of ______, and _____ was the son of _____, etc.) and wrote in chronological order. Mark, however, was straight to the point. Also, one gospel might not have all the exact same parables, stories, etc. that one of the others might, and even when they do, they're not all in the exact same order.

Why are all four Gospels found in the New Testament?
A:Not all the gospels are in the New Testament. Of the dozens of gospels that were written, the Church Fathers chose the four gospels that most closely represented the form of Christianity that they preached, and which they were willing to assert to have truly been written during apostolic times. Even the Gospel of Thomas, which may have been the earliest gospel, was omitted. Rather than select just one of the four, Irenaeus insisted there must be four gospels. This could be justified because Matthew places Jesus in an Old Testament context better than the others, Luke seems to place Jesus in a historical context and John is the only gospel that says that Jesus was divine.
Are the four gospels about gods people before Jesus time on earth?
No. The four Gospels ('Gospel' means good news) are accounts by four of Jesus' contemporaries (and maybe one near-contemporary) about what Jesus said, what He did, where He went, to whom He spoke, etc. The Gospels contain references to God's people before Jesus' time (mostly made by Jesus Himself), but they are included only incidentally to the main thrust of the Scripture. The Gospels' principal focus is on Jesus.

Explain how the four rings in the Ark of the Covenant illustrate the number four in the New Testament?
The explanation for the attempt to link the four rings on the four corners of the Ark of the Covenant with the New Testament, is that some will go to any lengths to try to show that the New Testament was foreshadowed in some way by the Old Testament. If the Ark was a real artefact, then it is natural that it would have four rings, one at each corner. Bishop Irenaeus insisted that there be exactly four gospels in the New Testament, just as there are four winds - thus also implying four corners. Apart from this, there is no genuine link between the four rings and the four gospels.
