The Synoptic problem, which is a liberal misnomer because this is not a "problem" but a fascinating historical question, is a term used concerning why the Gospel of Matthew, Gospel of Mark, and the Gospel of Luke, contain very similar material.
Markan priority solves the problem: the Gospel of Mark was written first, even contemporaneous with the events it describes. Matthew and Luke then had the benefit of the Gospel of Mark when they wrote their longer accounts.
An alternative approach is the Augustinian hypothesis.
