None of the synoptic evangelists, whether Matthew, Mark, or Luke, made direct use of another’s final gospel. Apart from dicta of Jesus standardized in oral catechesis, verbal overlaps occur only in small patches. In a given passage, any of the three may conserve the most primitive form of words. Each contains numerous pieces of singular content and of edits, all of which are absent from both of the others, a state of affairs that cannot be due to coincidental omission had the others used it as a source. These phenomena confirm the patristic view that the gospel writers worked independently of one another.
