Synoptic Gospels ("Synoptic" means "of the same viewpoint")

Gospel of Mark (the first Gospel chronologically by the son of Peter gives the life of Jesus and recounts the miracles of Jesus)

Gospel of Matthew (the second gospel chronologically, but first in the Bible, by the tax collector, proves to the Jews from prophecies in the Old Testament that Jesus was the Son of God).

Gospel of Luke (Luke, the physician, recounts the early life of Jesus, shows the closeness of Jesus to the women and the sick; and then follows the gospel with the Acts of the Apostles, the history of the early Church).

Gospel of John  (the last Gospel chronologically, by John, the "apostle whom Jesus loved", the apostle who was given care of the mother of Jesus by Jesus from the Cross). In two parts, the Book of Signs (seven miracles) and the Book of Glory (the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus).
