Gospel Compare

Four Gospel comparison tool

Compare any Gospel story across the four accounts.

Search a story or verse to see whether Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John tell it, how closely they match, and where the details differ.

Start with a normal phrase. The page will answer the match first, then keep the full synopsis table below.

Start with...

Source basis: World English Bible public-domain text, approximate Gospel date ranges, and a starter synopsis table built for quick comparison rather than a full critical apparatus.

Best use: find which Gospels narrate a story, then inspect the wording and absence notes before making a teaching or study claim.
