Common Synoptic Material

This table gives a detailed list of material in the Synoptics. The Gospels have been divided into pericopes based on those in Aland’s Synopsis Quattuor Evangeliorum, and follow its numbering scheme. Some pericopes have been further subdivided (and designated “a” and “b” accordingly).

Material in the Gospels are represented using the following colours: blue for Matthew, red for Mark, and yellow for Luke. These colours have been combined to show material common to one or more of the Gospels. Hence, material common to Matthew and Mark is shown as purple (the combination of blue and red), material common to Mark and Luke is shown as orange (the combination of red and yellow), and material common to Matthew and Luke is shown as green (the combination of blue and yellow). Material common to all three Gospels is here shown as white. Verses in parentheses are verses from a different context which have a loose parallel with verses in the coloured pericope. Pericopes in square brackets show where a parallel pericope in a different Gospel is located in the table when its order is different.
