II. LIVING OBJECTIVE:

III. THESIS:
The four Gospels are narratives of the life of Jesus and his words, thought out, lived and celebrated in the faith of the early Christian communities. The four stories, on the one hand, have much in common, and, secondly, there are differences that complement, supplement and enrich these tales. Each one, inspired by the Holy Spirit, has wished to convey his own experience and memories, to provoke and increase the faith of those who read. Only through faith and faith must be read to understand.
IV. EXPLANATION OF THE THESIS:
1. Meaning of the Gospel
The original meaning is "Good News." This is the Good News of salvation in Christ Jesus. " The four Gospels tell accurately what Jesus, the Son of God, living among men really did and taught until Ascension Day. After this day, the apostles told their listeners these words and deeds with the understanding that gave them the glorious resurrection of Christ and the teachings of the Spirit of Truth. The sacred authors composed the four Gospels, selecting data from the oral tradition or written, reducing them to short, adapting to the situation of the various churches, while preserving the style of the proclamation, and sent us authentic and genuine information about Jesus, taking them out memory or the testimony of those who attended from the beginning or were ministers of the Word, wrote to let us know the truth of
taught us "(Vatican II, Dei Verbum, number 19).
Before writing, the Gospel message was transmitted orally, before they book, was a word.
The apostles and first disciples expressed with the word "gospel" message not only Jesus but also the most important features of his life, and especially his death and resurrection. The core of the Gospel Jesus was resurrected. Proclaimed a new spirit of life of men. And indeed those who accepted the Gospel, those who believed in him, organized their lives with a new style, which was considered too early "Christian" because they were the followers of Christ. These groups or Christian communities, "eyewitnesses" who had lived with Jesus, outlining their experiences, transmitting the teachings of Jesus and evoked his presence among them with liturgical celebrations. These traditions were communicated to other groups, is reflected on them and were interpreted in the context of specific situations for which each community is undergoing. Soon communities were necessary to fix these traditions in writing, as explained in the previous chapter.
2. Gospel writers
The four Gospels, as we have them today, were born without author's name in the years 70-90. To the 125 gathered in a collection. Perhaps at this time gave them the title they have today, "Gospel Matthew, Mark, Luke, John. "
Tradition has it that these writings emerged in the environment of certain communities: Mark, in Rome, Matthew, in Antioch (Syria), Luke, in some communities composed mainly of non-Jews (Greece, Syria and Rome) , and John, in Palestine, or in Asia.
3. The Synoptic Gospels: origin and formation
The first three are called Synoptic (juxtaposed), because they have many similarities and can be read having the text in parallel columns:
Matthew 26, 26

he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and gave it saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 
overview on the problem say the following: a) Many parts are shared by the three evangelists, beginning in Galilee, mission in Galilee, climb to Jerusalem and passion, death and resurrection.
b) Some parts are common to only two evangelists: Jesus in Capernaum (Mk 1: 22-23 and Luke 4, 31-41), healing of the Canaanite woman (Mk 7, 24-30 and Matthew 15, 21 -28) and requirements of the teacher (Matthew and Luke).
c) Some facts and words appear only in one of three: the common prayer (Mt), Martha and Mary (Lk), the prodigal son (Luke).
conclude from all this:
a)
All three had common sources available, adapted them to their communities.

All three show the characteristics of their communities: The Jewish Christians in Matthew, Mark speaks to people of pagan origin, Luke has a universal perspective.
4. Apocryphal gospels
appeared in the second century some Gospels called "Apocrypha" (hidden) as opposed to the "canonical". Trying the gaps that the four Gospels were Jesus' life, especially his childhood. Christian communities not admitted as genuine. Although attributed to an apostle or a character related to Jesus, the Church has recognized as the word of God. There are legendary tales with a mixture of good will and imagination, even if many facts right. Have had enough influence in devotions and festivals, as well as religious art.
5. Legend of the Four Evangelists
The four evangelists are represented in the figures of the four living creatures of Ezekiel (1.5) and Revelation (4.6): man lion, bull and eagle. The most accepted interpretation is that Jerome made based on the beginning of the Gospels themselves:
a) Male:
Matthew, because it begins with the human genealogy of Christ.
b) Leon:
Marcos, because it begins with the powerful voice of John the Baptist in the wilderness, inhabited by lions.
c) Toro:
Lucas, because it begins with the sacrifice of Zechariah in the temple, where bulls were slaughtered. d) Eagle: John, because in the prologue is back as a high flight of an eagle, to the pre-existence of Jesus in the bosom of the Father.
6.
why there are differences between the four Gospels?
Here's why:
a)
Each of the evangelists tells the facts about Jesus as his personal experience and sensitivity.
b) Each evangelist arranged throughout the material life of Jesus as the goal he intended to write his "Gospel," and according to whom it was addressed.
c) Each evangelist felt totally free compared to historical or geographical details. They did not care much if a miracle occurred before or after, or whether that teaching is said in one place or another. The important thing for them was to keep alive the memory of the message and person of Jesus.
V. CONCLUSION:
The Gospels are a collection of documents on the faith of the early Christians, who give their experience of Christ. These stories are not arranged and conceived as a "rehearsal" modern. They are born of faith, were written by believers for believers, with the sole purpose of awakening faith in Jesus the Saviour.

Lord, give me faith to discover your presence behind every page of the Gospels. That assimilate your teachings, meditations, and live forward. Amen.
