The '''Synoptic Gospels''' are the Gospels of [[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]], [[Gospel of Mark|Mark]], and [[Gospel of Luke|Luke]]. The word ''synoptic'' is Latin, derived from the Greek roots ''sun'', meaning "with", and ''opsis'', meaning "seeing". The sense of the word is therefore "seen together", as the three Gospels share so much of their content. Much of the material in Mark's Gospel, and Luke's, expands upon Matthew.<ref>For example, Matthew 21:17-18 is clarified by Mark's expansion in Mark 11:11-20. <br> Matthew 4:13 is clarified and expanded by Luke 3:19 and 4:14-31.</ref> John's Gospel, in contrast, follows its own narrative. Biblical scholars have postulated the existence of an additional hypothetical Gospel account named ''Q'' (for the French word ''Quelle'', meaning "source"), from which the authors of Matthew, Mark and Luke all drew some of their material.
