One record that you guys can have fun with are the gospel record dealing with the crucifixion itself. If memory serves me right i think three of the four gospels have it. Anyway if you read each one you will see interesting differences like when they cast the lots for the garment, when the two other were led either before or after jesus. when they placed the accusation over his head etc.. They differ quite a bit. But what casts some light on the matter is that the greek word for the two others are different greek words in each gospel. meaning that four were crucified with him and not just two. One set of two was led before him and one set of two after him. This semantically is accurate with the greek text. the four gospels must be read as a unit to get the entire picture. This is called scripture build up in theological circles.
