It is commonly accepted that the gospels were written in the order of Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. However, since the Greek church does not know how the gospel authors used the Old Testament scriptures, they do not understand that the writers had several purposes in writing: record fulfillment of prophecy, leave notes for interested Greeks to make tracing their exegesis possible, and record the Hebrew teachings of apostles for the Greeks in Greek.
Fulfillment
The first purpose was to record what Jesus had done that fulfilled scriptures. They did not merely tell us interesting things about Jesus.
Luke tells the story of when Jesus was twelve years old and stayed behind in the temple when his parents had left for home. The Greeks think this is an interesting story of his early life that shows something of his remarkable wisdom and knowledge as a boy. Luke told the story because it fulfills the prophetic riddle of Genesis 14 and the nine kings.
Matthew tells us specifically that Jesus was called a Nazarene to fulfill prophetic riddle, but since the Greeks can't read prophetic riddle, they wonder if they lost some scripture somewhere. It fulfills the prophetic riddle contained in the law of the Nazarite.
John tells us "In the beginning was the Word", but because the Greeks can;t read prophetic riddle assume John got that idea from a Greek philosopher named Philo. It comes from the prophetic riddle of Gen 1.1.
The challenge to the Greek is to find the prophetic riddle in the Old Testament, that the New Testament authors had in mind when they recorded the detail about the life of Jesus.
