https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcan_priority
Quote:Marcan priority, the hypothesis that the Gospel of Mark was the first-written of the three Synoptic Gospels and was used as a source by the other two (Matthew and Luke) is a central element in discussion of the synoptic problem – the question of the documentary relationship among these three Gospels.
Most scholars since the late nineteenth century have accepted the concept of Marcan priority.
In short, Matty and Lukey copied their bullshit from Markie and when Markie was silent on a subject they wanted to address they made up their own bullshit which is how we end up with absurdly contradictory nativity accounts since Markie did not address that particular piece of the story.
