The synoptic gospels were all written in Greek Koine, a dialect of Attic Greek. This can most readily be demonstrated by reading them in parallel in the original Greek language, when you will se that as the authors of Matthew and Luke copied from Mark, they often used exactly the same words in the Greek language. This would only be possible if they were working from a Greek copy of Mark and writing their new gospels out in the same language.

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."

What are the common oral traditions between the synoptic gospels?
A:Common oral traditions would be a useful explanation for what is known as the 'Synoptic Problem', a problem of the surprising similarities among the synoptic gospels, if those traditions exist. However, a parallel reading of the three synoptic gospels, in the original Greek language, shows that when they agree, the similarities are too great and they often use exactly the same words in the Greek language. Clearly, there is a literary dependency among the synoptic gospels, and it can not be explained by oral sources. The explanation for this is that Matthewand Luke were actually based on Mark, but also relied on the hypothetical 'Q' document for further sayings material attributed to Jesus. There is no evidence of common oral traditions.
