Synoptic- Seeing with or seeing together
Gospel - Good news
Synoptic Gospel - Seeing the good news alike or in the same way.
*Matthew, Mark, and Luke are considered the Synoptic Gospels
*This is not to say that each account does not stand on its own merit. Each one is valuable, and each one gives us unique perspective and information.
Priority of Mark - the widely accepted idea that Mark was written first. "Priority" in the sense that it was written first, NOT that it is the most important
*Luke and Matthew may have used Mark's gospel as a reference, however the true source for all the gospels is the Holy Spirit!
