| O
ne way of understanding Luke better is to compare his writing with the other Synoptics. (The `synoptic' gospels are Matthew, Mark and Luke - so called because they share a very similar viewpoint. `Synoptic' roughly means `looking through the same eyes', `taking the same general view'.)
| In all the Synoptic Gospels | In Matthew | In Mark | In Luke
| | there are 172 sections of text | there are 114 and 22 appear nowhere else | there are 84 and 5 appear nowhere else | there are 127 and 48 appear nowhere else
| | there are miracles | 3 appear only here | 2 appear only here | 6 appear only here
| | there are parables | 10 appear only here | 1 appears only here | 18 appear only here
| | there are verses | 1068 | 674 | 1149
| | there are verses found nowhere else | 337 | 50 | 612
