The Synoptic Gospels, side by side

How the events of Matthew, Mark, and Luke line up — explore the parallels, then test yourself. View the timeline two ways and switch freely between them: Mark's order, the narrative sequence the other two evangelists worked from, or Luke's order, the account most scholars consider the most deliberately chronological (Luke 1:1–4). Events that any evangelist relocates carry an ↕ order badge.
