One calls synoptic Gospels the three Évangile S of Matthieu, Marc and Luc. These Gospels tell the history of Jesus from a similar point of view, often by using the same stories and the same words.
The “synoptic” term is derived from a combination of the Greek roots συν (" syn" = together) and οψις (" opsis" = indicator) because they can be laid out side by side on the same page, thus forming a Synopse.
The synoptic qualifier was introduced by Griesbach in 1776.
the Gospel according to holy Jean is not regarded as a synoptic Gospel.
The explanation of the similarities and the differences between these three texts is a field of the Exégèse New Testament and is called the synoptic Problème.
