That is why I started this study. The important thing of course is that no matter what order they are all accurate accounts of what happened in each situation.
Some have a problem with Mark 16. But as said here some of these things are his writings. The boy who ran naked in the garden when Jesus was arrested I believe is Mark. Maybe that is why later we learn he left Paul, perhaps he was scared to do a lot of the work until he grew up.
I agree. I see Matthew as the basis and try to use those words more than the others. John is completely different case. Most of his focus on the personal feelings of Jesus. It is more emotional and you can actually feel John's emotion.
Most scholars are in agreement actually that Mark was written first, but that is not the reason for this topic.
If there is a timeline, it is fragmented, and the fact that Jesus taught the same message basically everywhere He went means that sayings should not be dealt with as if they were only spoken on one occasion. The disciples probably heard Jesus' message hundreds of times, or at least enough to memorize it.
