The Gospels are different. Sometimes the events are in a different order. Sometimes they differ in their details. Sometimes there are differences in what they cover. Why?

Carol,
Here is an excellent article that will answer your questions and give you more information about the Gospels. It is entitled "Testimony of the Evangelists" and it is written by Simon Greenleaf. You can find it here: http://christjesus.us/greenleaf.html I'm sure that you will appreciate it.

Simon Greenleaf!!! He founded the Harvard School of Law. He was the world's leading authority on evidence. He studied the evidence for the resurrection. Wow.

Thank you for the link!
