Gospel harmony

This article is about attempts to merge, or harmonize, the Christian canonical gospels into a single gospel account. For harmony in Christian Gospel music, see Gospel music. It has been suggested that this article or section be mergedwith Chronology of Jesus. (Discuss)

A gospel harmony is an attempt to merge or harmonize the canonical gospels into a single gospel account, a famous ancient example being the Diatesseron. A gospel harmony may also establish a chronology for the events of the life of Jesus depicted in the four canonical gospels and how they relate to each other. Under modern schorship, the effort has waned to portray any one order of events as totally correct.

The unique material of each gospel complicates the discernment of one, harmonized chronology. However, others consider the unique material crucial to narrowing down the possible chronological order. Some scholars have questioned the historicity of events in the canonical gospels.

The following table, mainly events for which there is also an article, is an example of a harmony. The order of events, especially during the ministry period, has been the subject of speculation and scholarly debate. While this harmony compares the work of several scholars, other harmonies may differ substantially on the placement of some events.
