It’s well known that Matthew and Luke used Mark as a source for writing there gospels.  What isn’t as clear is the relationship between John these first three gospels.  Did John known them?  Did John use them and if he did how and to what extent?  

1. Parable of Lazarus and the rich man

2. Mary and Martha

3. The Raising of the Widow of Nain’s Son/The Healing of the Centurions’ Servant

4. The Raising of Jarius’ daughter.  

5. Allusion to Genesis 29
