Differences

by the road vs a little way off

Mark says it wasn’t the season for fruit

Matt says may you never bear fruit again while mark says may no one ever eat your fruit again

All three synoptics deal with people being saved or excluded from the kingdom.

Mark just talks about a man who asked how to have the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew and Luke have several similarities

narrow gate/door

Jesus said away from me in both

weeping and gnashing of teeth

Only Luke records this event.

215. Teaching on Humility

Luke tells an incident where people were seeking seats at the head of the table and Jesus tells them to look for a seat at the foot of the table. That way they well be recongized instead of humilited.

Matthew has a quote from Lukes story… but it centers around the criticism of religious leaders.

John talks about having eternal life being granted to those who have done good, and Luke records Jesus saying the resurrection of the righteous there will be a reward for those who did things for those who could not repay them.
