The four Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—present different perspectives on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
- **Matthew**: Written for a Jewish audience, it emphasizes Jesus as the Messiah and fulfills Old Testament prophecies. It contains extensive teachings, such as the Sermon on the Mount[1][2][4].
- **Mark**: The shortest Gospel, focusing on Jesus as a servant and miracle worker. It is action-oriented and likely intended for a Roman audience[1][4][5].
- **Luke**: Aimed at Gentile readers, it highlights Jesus' compassion and concern for the marginalized. It presents a detailed and orderly account[2][4][5].
- **John**: Distinct from the Synoptic Gospels, it focuses on theological themes, emphasizing Jesus' divine nature and the concept of eternal life[2][4].
