Hades is. And the same message is all throughout the entire New Testament.

Each book was intended to tell the story of Jesus but from different accounts. If they were all the same it wouldn’t make any sense to put all four of those books in the Bible because it would just be redundant. You need to have different accounts in order to have witnesses state facts rather than hearsay

Check out Cold Case Christianity. The author was An atheist. He set out to disprove the NT Gospels. He was a cold case detective so his goal was to use what he did with witnesses of cold cases to show how each Gospel contradicted each other. What he found out changed his life.

Synoptic problem

Each author likely was lead to write what hiscimmediate hears and larder needed to know. Luke was a gentile do tors abed the thilise I terests are is focus. It can onlookers be a guess, if that W’s something we need to know for our salvation it would be included. But it is not.

Each book had a different intended audience, and each book by a person with a different Background pertaining to Judaism.
Of them all, Luke seems to be the most complete to me, which clearly speaks to both audiences and written in Greek, opening up to a wide variety of audience.Also, we do know of Paul quoting from Luke and referring to it as scripture.

Let’s find out…..

Because Luke was more detailed due to his background as a medical doctor, and his audience is different. Which is one of the proofs that the narrative is about an actual place and not a fable or parable.
-
There is a story about Lazarus in Luke who died and was carried to Abraham’s bosom in Luke 16. Could be the same guy as the Lazarus who was raised up.

Look at it this way…
4 men go to a ballgame. Each sit in different corners of the stadium. Everyone of them will see the same play from a different perspective. They will write and speak about what they saw. That’s why the Gospels differ somewhat on various accounts.
Luke was a doctor and a historian so to speak. Most likely he got that story from an eyewitness, who heard Jesus relay it. -
Each book is unique. Maybe God’s plan to read that book also. If every book was exactly the same, people might skip out on it.
-
Well because Mark and Matthew didn’t have that information to put it in, and the reason John doesn’t have it is because the book of John is completely different, not close to the other gospels.
-
I can imagine Luke collecting as many written records he could. and combining them. in one account.
-
This makes the Bible inspired. Everyone recalled what they saw and wrote it down later. They didn’t carry note books around to record.
When an accident happens, and people are called to witness, everyone will say it differently as they saw it from where they stood when the accident happened.
Likewise the written OT and NT. -
it is amazing that if one tries to combine Matt, mark and Luke into one account which can be done, they dovetail almost perfectly. what one is missing the others have. this to me is a sign of divine preservation.
-
Each of the gospels were written for different purposes from different perspectives. There is different teachings in each one and some over lapping. I am not sure why that parable was only in Luke, but I don’t believe in mistakes or accidents in the bible. It takes prayer, study, meditation, and The Holy Spirit to get clarity on some questions. God bless

The different gospels focus different emphasis on Jesus’s teachings
