Chronological Gospel
The gospels, and most of the Bible itself, are not in chronological order. This is due to the various authors, times, intended audiences and the focus of the writing. This makes it difficult to follow the journey of Jesus through the years, there are resources out there than can help, but as you will see even those contrast a bit. Our purpose is to understand the earthly journey of Jesus, so we will line up what we can in order and do our best with the rest.
Here is a very simple way to understand keys to each gospel as you read it
Matthew
Audience: Jews Jesus as King
Mark
Audience: Gentile (Roman) Jesus as Man
Luke
Audience: Gentile (Greek) Jesus as Savior & Man
John
Audience: Universal Jesus as God
