:''Not to be confused with [[the Gospel]]''

'''The Gospels''' of the [[Bible]] (from the Greek for "good news") are the first four books of the [[New Testament]], containing numerous quotes of [[Jesus]].  Three of the gospel accounts of [[Jesus]] are attributed to eyewitness accounts: by two of His [[Apostles]] ([[Matthew]] and [[Gospel of John|John]]), and by the outsider Mark who witnesses events as a young boy accompanying his mother who was a disciple.  The fourth gospel account is attributed to a physician-historian who did not know Jesus personally but interviewed many about him ([[Gospel of Luke]]).  The stated [[authorship]] of the gospels has been historically and linguistically confirmed.

The first gospel was by Mark, probably a [[Gentile]], which is fearless of authorities and irreverent towards all other than Jesus.  Matthew then reused 97% of Mark's gospel, omitting merely some of its boldness and irreverence, while adding more content.
