A) Synoptic Gospels: The gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke are referred to as the synoptic Gospels because they include many of the same stories, often in a similar sequence and in similar or sometimes identical wording.  

They stand in contrast to John, whose content is largely distinct. The term synoptic  comes via Latin from the Greek σύνοψις, synopsis, i.e. "(a) seeing all together, synopsis";[n 1] the sense of the word in English, the one specifically applied to these three gospels, of "giving an account of the events from the same point of view or under the same general aspect" is a modern one.

B) Broadly speaking, the synoptic gospels are similar to John: all are composed in Koine Greek, have a similar length, and were completed within a century of Jesus' death. They also differ from non-canonical sources, such as the Gospel of Thomas, in that they belong to the ancient genre of biography,[6][7] collecting not only Jesus' teachings, but recounting in an orderly way his origins, his ministry and miracles, and his passion and resurrection. 

C) In content and in wording, though, the synoptics diverge widely from John but have a great deal in common  ...

with each other. Though each gospel includes some unique material, the majority of Mark and roughly half of Matthew and Luke coincide in content, in much the same sequence, often nearly verbatim. This common material is termed the triple tradition. 

D) The triple tradition

The triple tradition, the material included by all three synoptic gospels, includes many stories and teachings: 

E) The triple tradition itself constitutes a complete gospel quite similar to the shortest gospel, Mark. 

F) The double tradition ...

An extensive set of material—some two hundred verses, or roughly half the length of the triple tradition—are the pericopae shared between Matthew and Luke, but absent in Mark.  This is termed the double tradition. 

G) Matthew and Luke contain a large amount of material found in no other gospel.[citation needed] These materials are sometimes called "Special Matthew" or M and "Special Luke" or L.

A) In Christian tradition, the Four Evangelists are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, the authors attributed with the creation of the four canonical Gospel accounts.  

004) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Testament ...

A) The New Testament[note 1] (NT) is the second division of the Christian biblical canon. It discusses the teachings and person of Jesus, as well as events in first-century Christianity. The New Testament's background, the first division of the Christian Bible, is called the Old Testament, which is based primarily upon the Hebrew Bible; together they are regarded as sacred scripture by Christians.[1]

B) The New Testament is a collection of Christian texts originally written in the Koine Greek language, at different times by various authors.  

C) While the Old Testament canon varies somewhat between different Christian denominations, the 27-book canon of the New Testament has been almost universally recognized within Christianity[2] since at least Late Antiquity. Thus, in almost all Christian traditions today, the New Testament consists of 27 books: ...

• 4 canonical gospels by the "Four Evangelists" (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John)
• The Acts of the Apostles
• 13 Pauline epistles
• The Epistle to the Hebrews
• 7 general epistles
• The Book of Revelation 

D) The New Oxford Annotated Bible states, "Scholars generally agree that the Gospels were written forty to sixty years after the death of Jesus. They thus do not present eyewitness or contemporary accounts of Jesus's life and teaching."[11][12] 

E) 

The word testament[edit]

The word testament in the expression "New Testament" refers to a new covenant that Christians believe completes or fulfils the Mosaic covenant (the old covenant) that Yahweh (the national god of Israel) made with the people of Israel on Mount Sinai through Moses, described in the books of the Old Testament.^[13] Christians traditionally view this new covenant as being prophesied in the Hebrew Bible's Book of Jeremiah:^[14]

005) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covenant_(biblical) ...

A) Covenant (biblical) ... The Hebrew Bible makes reference to a number of covenants (Hebrew: בְּרִיתוֹת) with God (YHWH). These include the Noahic Covenant (in Genesis), which is between God and all living creatures, as well as a number of more specific covenants with Abraham, the whole Israelite people, the Israelite priesthood, and the Davidic lineage of kings. In form and terminology, these covenants echo the kinds of treaty agreements in the surrounding ancient world.

A) Koine Greek also known as Hellenistic Greek, common Attic, the Alexandrian dialect, Biblical Greek or New Testament Greek, was the common supra-regional form of Greek spoken and written during the Hellenistic period, the Roman Empire and the early Byzantine Empire.
