The Life of Jesus: An Overview
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John did not simply write about what happened in the past. They wrote from the perspective of the Resurrection and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.

Besides, during the two years or more that the disciples spent with Jesus, He must have taught and preached similar messages many times, and He must have performed similar miracles many times—many lame people were healed, many blind people could see again, and so forth.
