I have a question regarding the Gospels, in particular Mark and Luke. Having completed reading the Gospel of Luke I now find myself reading the Gospel of Mark (new Christian here, following one of many recommended reading lists for new Christians needing help/guidance on where and how to start reading the Bible). It seems like many of the parables, or miracles that are presented in the Gospel of Luke are the same/similar to many of the parables and miracles also presented in the Gospel of Mark.
Are the Gospels just different disciples accounts of what they saw and heard while following Jesus, possible the same time period and witnessing the same miracles, just each one from their own perspective or experience? Meaning each of the gospels may actually be recounting the same parable and/or miracle as shown in one of the other gospels? I am trying to understand if the gospels are accounts from each of the disciples, during the same time following Jesus while they were all together, but each gospel written individually recounting what they saw, heard, witnessed- as opposed to the gospels being written in some chronological order with each book covering their respective "period" spent with Jesus.
Thank you,
Brett
