Why does the New Testament give several versions of the life of Christ?
Many have wondered about that. It's often helpful to hear different perspectives on the same event. Some people will focus on one aspect of an event—others will focus on different parts. It's a blessing that God chose to give us four perspectives on the life of Christ to give us a fuller understanding of His actions and words. Whether or not Christ was the Messiah was a big question in the first century. It's interesting that God said a thing would be established at the mouth of two or three witnesses (Deuteronomy 19:15; 2 Corinthians 13:1), and He recorded more than that as witnesses to the life of Christ as the Messiah.
